Both of these names repeat the M sound of Marie, which I don't especially like. This is especially apparent in Marlie which is just one letter away from Marie. I actually did a doubletake because I thought it said Marie Marie at first. I would definitely steer away from Marlie Marie

I voted for Marlie with the condition that you have to spell it Marley.

ITA with this post! I also initially thought the first option was "Marie Marie," and no matter what spelling you use it's still an incredibly similar name ... "Mar" beginning and "ee" sound ending. Might as well name her Marie, KWIM? Marlie/Marley being another unisex name, it'd also make me assume you have three girls (or two boys and girly little Sophie, at best), FWIW.


"Emmy Marie" also gave me pause, since I've known at least two Maries who were called "Emme/Emmy" as nns.


It really seems you just like Marie. Maybe just cut to the chase?

Thanks for your thought. I LOVE the sound of Emmi Marie. Marie is NOT a choice. Do I like Marie, not really! All females on my maternal side have the mn Marie. There are 12 of us already. Im not about to break tradition.
I also LOVE Marley Marie, but do worry about that name with my son's name. I dont think it sounds bad with Marie!

Thanks again! I will let you know which one we decide!
