Maren

I love it and DH is warming up to it. He thinks it might sound too "dated". Thoughts?

Also, which spelling do you prefer? Maren, Marin or Maryn.

I love Maren and don't see it as old at all. Had it on our list but it sounds terrible with our last name.

I love it! I like it spelled Maren or Marin. I dislike Maryn.

I like this name a lot! I think it's best spelled as Maren. I think it's both old and new... A nice combo.

I don't think it sounds dated.

I like Maren or Marin, either one. Please don't put a y in there

I love Maren.

I really like Marin, spelled like this.

I really like Maren. I haven't heard it irl just here and in books so it definitely doesn't feel dated to me.

The name is NMS. If you chose this, I would say to spell it, Maren.

I have a good friend (in her 30s) named Maren.

I like it a lot, spelled that way.

I really like Maren!

DH has a friend with 3 girls. The youngest is Maren. She's around 3 years old and is super cute! I like the name a lot.

I love Maren.

It was a top contender for this baby but Dh wasnt on board.

I really, really like it. A friend had a daughter just before we had ours, and named her Maren. It took me awhile to get used to, but it has totally grown on me

I'd go for the MarEN spelling! And because your older daughter has y's in her name, I'd definitely avoid the spelling with a y.

I don't think it sounds dated. Maren is my favorite spelling.

I'm biased since my DD is Maren but I love it

We get compliments on her name all of the time.

This was my exact thought. I'm really not obsessed with y's As it may seem but there were 3 options in the baby book. I read the others differently than how it should be pronounced and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I agree Maren is best. Thanks everyone!
