Help[Facts] Re: Pronounciation on names
in reply to a message by Christer Mattiasson
Thank you!
I have one question for you. I've been trying to locate the name Marliese or a name that sounds like MAR-leesh. Would you happen to have heard of a name like that? If so, could you give me the spelling and anything else you know about that? Thank you again!

Hi again!
There's a name "Marlies" (more rarely spelled Marlis) in Germany. It's a combination of Marie and Liese (Mary & Elizabeth) and it is pronounced MAR-lees. The name is a little bit old fashioned in Germany. There are quite many women in their 50's with that name.
The name is used in the Netherlands as well, but not very often in Scandinavia.
Regards, Satu

Thank you! I've been looking for the meaning or just something like Marlis. Because my dad said he named me after some Swedish woman he knew when he was a kid. At least that's what he told my mom! But I was thinking that her parents just liked the name but were not of that heritage. Like someone having a Greek name but not a bit Greek. Thank you! again!
