Help[Opinions] What variant names do you like?
What names that are variants do you like? Not counting variant names that are the most common spelling (example Connor is a variant of Conor, but more popular)
My favorite is Marlee and Arianne I like these much more than Marley and Ariane!
What do you think of Marlee?

I prefer the names' original versions, like Paisley than Paisleigh, Alicia than Aleeaha, etc. (doesn't mean I hate them all). I think I'm a name conservative lol.
There are some exceptions though; I like the variant when it is spelled and pronounced quite distinctively (like McKayla than Michaela), or names from other culture (like Roxanne than Roxane).
I'm sorry but I don't like Marlee.

I'm with you about Marlee. Marley is nmsaa (too Bob, and too movie-dog) but if it's like (actress) Marlee Matlin? Mar- + Lee? It's neat.
I like Alys, but dislike Alice.
I like Marc, don't really care for Mark.
Like Gillian, dislike Jillian
Like Vivien, don't care for Vivienne or Vivian f.
I like Audra a lot more than Audrey (if that counts as a variant)
Like Alison, dislike Allison. Alison is the original, so I'm not sure you'd count that one, but Allison is now more popular in the US
I like the pronunciation of Anna as AH-na, don't like AN-na nearly as much.
