It just drips history and simple sophistication. I would use this on one of my own children were I not able to use Marianne.

Marian and Miriam are my favorite “Mary” names — I go back and forth on which I like better.

Like Lola, I’m partial to Marian, but Marion is fine too. I like that the name is both strong and feminine.

I love her pretty sound, her trim look and her history. I’ve always preferred Marian to Marion because frankly, it looks more feminine to me (and John Wayne’s Marion helps too). I think she’s sweet and simply lovely in a way few other names are. Truly a shining beacon to simplicity. I love Marian!
