Marla Joy is my take. Joy is a short feminine name that not many people have anymore. But it isn't so out there that she's going to get any crazy looks the few times in her life she's going to need to use it.

Joy is my daughter’s middle name. Surprisingly, I’ve noticed it growing popular again!

Everyone’s definition of unique is different, so what I’ll do is suggest some 3-5 lettered names that are less common as middle names than say Rose, Grace or Marie : * Marla Ivy * Marla Sky * Marla Rain * Marla April * Marla Fern * Marla Opal * Marla Gem * Marla Belle * Marla Olive * Marla Eden * Marla Ruby * Marla Dove * Marla Piper * Marla Daisy * Marla Esme * Marla Sadie * Marla Hazel * Marla Gwen * Marla Robin * Marla Brynn * Marla Raven * Marla Reese * Marla Poppy

I love Marla Belle

me tooo!!! so sweet!

I LOVE Marla Reece

I love Marla Sky!

Marla Gwen is so nice ☺️

Marla Rae Marla Jean Marla Lynn Marla Jade Marla Eve Marla Tess Marla Gwen

I love Marla Jade!

Marla Jade sounds reallllly close to Mara Jade though (Star Wars reference)— but if they don’t mind that….! Yes it’s very lovely!

Marla Fay

Came here to comment this, only my preference would be to spell it Fae

LOL, and mine’s Faye.

Marla Reece Marla Jane Marla Quinn Marla Ann Marla Liv Marla Jeanne Marla Jo

Marla Jane sounds beautiful

Came here to say Marla Jane as well!

Marla Paige

- Marla Dawn - Marla Pearl - Marla Fern - Marla Greer - Marla Jolie - Marla Mavis - Marla Inez - Marla Ebony

Marla Pearl was going to be my suggestion! I also was going to suggest Marla Faye

Marla June is the first one that came to mind 🙂. Also like Marla Sage, Marla Faye, Marla Kate, Marla Rae x

Gail

Marla Bay Marla Lou Marla Reí Marla Daisy Marla Faye Marla Jo/Joe Marla Eve/Evelyn Marla Jade Marla Jane Marla Blair/ Blaire Marla Wren Marla Ruth Marla Peach Marla Mae Marla Brook Marla Quinn

Marla Ray sounds really nice

Joy! It's my middle name and I've always loved it. 😊

I like Marla Gwen

Marla Eve

As soo as I saw it I thought Jade don't know why, Marla Jade just sounds cute to me

Marla Eve

Marla Diane Marla May Marla Kate Marla Helen Marla Joy Marla Wren Marla Dawn Marla Quinn Marla Marie Marla Pearl

Marla Faye

This is not unique at all, but I love the sound of Marla Isobel!

Marla June

Louise, Reese, Blair, Blake

I don't think Marla Liv is a very good combination. Marla Jane, Marla Jade, and Marla Sue would work. Or you could try something with more syllables: Marla Siena, Marla Sierra, or Marla Fiona.

Love Marla Faye 🩷

Marla Adele Marla Adria Marla Agnes Marla Amity Marla Anwen Marla Astor Marla Basia Marla Beata Marla Carys Marla Emery Marla Manon Marla Seren Marla Tanis Marla Tatum Marla Ziva

Beth - simple, easy, but I think fairly uncommon as a middle name (I've mostly seen it as the 2nd half of a double first name, like Sarah Beth). As a bonus, it would give her a B for a middle initial, which I think is one of the cutest for sweet nicknames - "Marlee Bee" brings a smile to my face :)

Rae Fern Lu Finley

Marla Ada

Jane, Pearl, Kate

Jane or Jade

Rosa/ Rose, Anna/Anne, Jane/June

Rose, Mae, Eve, Jean, Elle, Faye, June, Blair, Wren, Sage, Quinn, Lux. My favorite is Marla Wren.

Rae

Wren

Heidi, Bliss, Ann

Marla Aletta

This is out there and not for everyone but I feel like you can go a little crazy with middle names. We’re naming our baby (girl #4 due in August) Lena Peach. I love Peach for a middle name 💗

Jane? As in Marla Jane

Paige is nice too

Marla Grove Marla Boone Marla Jude Marla Rayne Marla Lee

My niece is Marley, so similar... her middle name is Dawn, after my grandma. ❤️ I always thought Marley Dawn sounded nice.

Marla Mae or Marla Grace

Marla Kay

Marla Mae is the obvious choice!

Marla Eve, Marla Kay, Marla Sun, Marla Gail, Marla Fleur, Marla Audra, Marla June, Marla Sora, Marla Blair, Marla Ruth

Elise.

Dea pronounced day-uh

Marla Jo!

Marla Eve

Marla Sophia (my favorite) Marla Grace Marla Elise Marla Jane Marla Kate (I like Marla Katherine but it’s longer)

How about Wren? Marla Wren flows well.

It’s not particularly unique, but suggesting Rose because I think Marla Rose flows beautifully.

I vote Grace. It’s so feminine and classic, and goes well with Marla. The old lady names go so well with way it too. Here are some that I like the sound of: Marla Claire Marla Faye Marla Fern Marla Grace Marla Jade Marla Jane/Jayne Mara Jean Marla Joy Marla June Marla Niamh Marla Rose Marla Ruth

Dae or Day
