[Opinions] Marie
Is Marie workable as a first name?

Yes !
Actually, I'm sick of seeing it as a middle name--it would be refreshing to see it as a first name. Very nice!

YES!
It's gorgeous and unexpected as a first name!

Why wouldn't it be?
I think it's really pretty, and it's fairly uncommon as a first name. I like it a lot because it's the name of one of my best friends. Her middle name is Louise though which is kind of fillerish though.

It makes a beautiful first name! It's way overused as a middle name, IMO.
Of course! I love Marie. It's really sweet and soft but it doesn't sound too fluffy. And because it's so tired as a middle name, it seems fresh and exciting as a first name.
My favourite Marie combos are:
Marie Bernadette
Marie Catherine
Marie Cécile
Marie Christiane
Marie Clothilde
Marie Édith
Marie Jeanette
Marie Katarzyna
Marie Katelijn
Marie Pantaléonne
Marie Sévérine
Marie Simone
Marie Thérèse
Marie Viviane
I also like is as a double name (Marie-Cécile, Marie-Hélène, Marie-Léonide, Marie-Édith, etc).

Of course!
I^d rather meet a little Marie than see it just as a filler mn.

Sure! Using it as a first name breathes new life into an old classic that became very, very tired in the middle name position.
I like Marie quite a bit. I also like it in double names like Annemarie or Rose-Marie.

Absolutely. I didn't used to be a big fan, preferring Mary and Maria, but Marie has grown on me lately. It's solid but still very pretty. I like that it doesn't sound quite as utilitarian as Mary and doesn't end in an -a like Maria (making it a bit less flowery or rhymey with other -a or -ia names).
Off the top of my head I like the combos:
Marie Romaine (but I like almost anything with Romaine)
Marie Antonia
Marie Valerie / Valeria
Marie Rosina / Rosine
Marie Renata
Marie Simone
Marie Alberta
Marie Ophelia
Marie Emmeline
Marie Eleonore
Marie Irina
Marie Leitha
Marie Claudia
Marie Kassandra / Cassandra

Yes, wonderful. It's extremely overused as a middle name, but as a first name I love it.
Yes, I think it is lovely in the first name spot.
