Help[Opinions] Marie, Marie, Marie - all of the Marie-combos that ever made the French top 100
I'm just intrigued by all the Marie-combos that were popular in France, many making the top 100. Marie itself was/still in popular too, of course.
Which ones do you like? Called by both names.
These were all popular (top 100):
Marie (highest ranking #1, year(s): 1900-1954, 1956-1958)
Marie-Louise
Marie-José
Marie-Françoise
Marie-Claire
Marie-France
Marie-Claude
Marie-Thérèse
Marie-Christine
Marie-Hélène
Marie-Paule
Marie-Noëlle
Marie-Pierre
Marie-Laure
Marie-Line
Anne-Marie
For boys:
Jean-Marie
In 2022 there was not a single Marie-combo in the top 500 anymore and Marie had left the top 100.
Personally, I like Marie-Noëlle and I'm kind of intrigued by Marie-Line.
Hope I didn't forget any.

A lot of those made the top 100 in Quebec as well (including Marie-Claire, Marie-Claude, Marie-Pierre, Marie-Helene, which are my favorites), though not always written with a hyphen...I don't know about France, but these are some more that made top 100 in Quebec in the 80s and 90s...
Marie Eve
Marie Andree
Marie Michele
Marie Soleil
Marilou
I like Marie Soleil, of those, despite not liking Soleil much by itself.
Hyphenated names including Rose seem the trend in Quebec now. Emma-Rose, Lily-Rose, Lea-Rose...
Marie-Ange comes to mind as a popular Marie double name, although it seems like it never broke into the top 100.

We sure do love to pair Marie with everything. In Quebec, I have also known some women called Marie-Chantal, Marie-Julie, Marie-Annick, Marie-Kim, Marie-Denise and even Marie-Philippe (think of Marie-Philip Poulin) and Marie-Mai (the famous singer Québec singer, it's her given name at birth).
Edited to add: Marie-Soleil was indeed quite popular in the 80s and 90s in Quebec, but strangely in French it is the only instance the name Soleil is used. It's an oddity to use it alone, on it's own. It's always paired with Marie. Maybe to follow this trend, I have seen the very original Marie-Lune also used once.

I like all of them, except Marie-José, Marie-Paule, Marie-Pierre and Jean-Marie. I have never heard of Marie-Line before, but it's pretty - it sounds like a fancier version of Marilyn. My favorite is Marie-Noëlle.

A couple rare ones I like are Marytilde and Marie-Yolande. I saw them as Puerto Rican and Haitian respectively, though.

Marytilde is interesting, I guess it's a combination of Mary/María and Mat(h)ilde. Marie-Yolaine and Marie-Yolene are also used in Haiti.
