I think an obvious choice would be Marly / Marley / Marlie or perhaps Marla, some others might be Lena or Lenny or even Lanie if you want to be far-fetched, M or Mar-mar there's obviously a lot. The one I think is the sweetest (and the nickname of the only Marlene I know) is Molly, which can then lead to Moll. I think Molly is such a cute diminutive for a little girl who can't carry the weight of Marlene. I personally am kind of sad that it is seen as an old and dated name, I wouldn't use it as a first name because I'd never want anyone to criticize her name all the time and middle names aren't used as often in public. I prefer the Dutch/German pronunciation of mahr-LAY-na.
