[Opinions] As someone who grew up in DC
in reply to a message by BBH
I'm going with Marian. As with most Washingtonians Marion belongs to one man and man only - Marion Barry. Plus I always think of Maid Marian.

Lol!I saw the "As with most Washingtonians..." and I thought, "I'm a Washingtonian and I've never heard of Marion Barry... Oh, wait. The other Washington..."I like Marian on a girl. I hate either version on a guy.

I also grew up in the DC metro area (Silver Spring), so I realize the name is rather associated with him. I am a Marion (f) fan. Actually, my great-great-great-grandparents were named Marian and Berry.Nice to know another Washington Metro poster on here. :)

Former.I moved around three years ago - to Fargo, ND.My dad has actually dealt with Barry personally a few times - in fact he did so just recently - plus I've never known anyone else with the name.
