We are going to start TTC baby #2 in the next couple months. My current favorite girl name is [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]… but I am worried it will be associated with the show Adventure Time. [name_u]Truth[/name_u] be told, that’s where I got the name from… but I’d rather my child not be linked to a goofy cartoon, especially with such a pretty, elegant name. I’m not huge on [name_f]Marcella[/name_f], but if the connotation is too strong, what are some good alternatives?
My 9-month-old’s name is [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. I think the names sound great together. Our current favorite boy name is [name_m]Felix[/name_m].
I like [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], also got it from Adventure Time. I do think people will associate it with that, but I don’t think the show is popular enough that I would worry about it. It’s a beautiful name, and [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is pretty cool in the show!

The pronunciation she’s thinking (from the show at least) is [name_f]Mar[/name_f]-ce-leen.
I like [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]. I knew a [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] when I was young and thought she had the most dignified name ever. If possible, [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] takes that dignity to another level!
I think of [name_f]Marcheline[/name_f], the mother of [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] - that’s where I first heard it, when they gave it as a middle name to their twin girl [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].
It makes a lovely set with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] though. Are you pronouncing it [name_f]Mar[/name_f]-cell-een?
I love [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]! Although I did first get it from Adventure Time, I don’t associate it with the show, and I don’t think most people would either. Anyways, any associations people have about a name usually fall away after meeting someone in real life with that name.
My grandmother is the first thing that springs to mind <3 It was her given name {her nickname was Barbara… go figure}. I think it is a beautiful name, especially with Adelaide. The nickname Celine is charming too : )
I think [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is a beautiful name for a little girl. I know of a little girl named marceline sailor and i think its absolutely stunning
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is an AMAZING name. It’s smart, dignified, cool, beautiful and strong. I am super pro-[name_f]Marceline[/name_f]! It also goes great with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]!
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is a pretty name. [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] comes to mind when I hear it. If the association is too strong for you, [name_f]Marcelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcellina[/name_f] are possible alternatives.
I actually think of [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] and do not associate this name with Adventure Time at all. I think [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is a really pretty choice and sounds effortless with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].
I have never heard of Adventure Time, and don’t really associate [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] with anything - it’s so unusual that I’ve never heard of anyone with the name. It goes really well with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and potential [name_m]Felix[/name_m]!
I don’t know what Adventure Time is, but my first associations were [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]'s mom and then the monkey from “Friends.” I do think it is a very pretty name though.
Not to get all faux-poetic, but when I hear the name I think of silver, light, tall reedy plants. It’s a very pretty name. I haven’t heard of the cartoon, so can’t comment there.
