187.0. "MARLYS/MARLISS" by PLANET::MORTON () Wed Feb 24 1988 15:46

    My daughter who is now 16 is named Jennifer Marliss; yes Jennifer
    was the most popular girls name for 1971, but at least she has
    a different middle name.  May also be spelled Marlys - I didn't
    know that when filling out the birth certificate so just went by
    the pronunciation. 
    
    It was difficult agreeing on Jennifer, we also considered Erica
    and get this - Corathina - a name I think my husband made up.
    When Jenn started school and found that 80% :) of the girls were
    named Jennifer she tried using Marliss, but gave it up when the
    boys *boys will be boys* nicknamed her *mouthless*.
    
    Jenn as she likes to be known doesn't seem to mind having a name
    that seemingly everybody else has but hates her middle name which
    I think is a wonderful name.  I've been told it is a Scandanavian
    version of Mary but don't know that for certain.

I am due in September and have always loved the name Marlys (name of my hair
dresser).  If I have a girl, I was thinking of Marlys but don't really
know if Marlys Sperling is too much of a mouthfull.  I might have to 
try it as a middle name.
