has this unappealing sound to it... It also reminds me of the word "mar", which is a bit too violent for my liking.
Marion
, on the other hand, I actually quite like for some reason. I associate it with Maid

My niece's name is

but we don't pronounce the first syllable so that it sounds like the word "mar". We pronounce

to rhyme with
Sarah
.
