Maaaaybe Marigold and Goldie as a pet name just for the family to use?

I actually don't HATE it. I think it's a super cute nickname but think as a given name you could do so much better so it's a no from me.

That was the name of my husband's dog when he was little. I personally wouldn't use it for a child!

I don't mind it, but maybe the overwhelming negativity is influencing me (to like it more/ give it a chance). I like Goldie Hawn.

fashion/lifestyle writer jane marie named her daughter goldie - and got it as a neck tattoo...
as for my opinion, its cute for a little girl and a grandma, not so much in between

I wouldn't mind it as short for Marigold. One former student is a Mariposa and goes by Mari for short, which I really liked.

@CakeLady: I was just thinking this morning about how much Jane Marie rubs me the wrong way! Neck tattoo reaffirms it....

Supreme Court Justice Goldie? Dr. Goldie? Professor Goldie? .... sorry, it fails my "name test"!

I love your style and unique names for your girls, but Goldie is a bit much for me!

@ms.line: @CakeLady: I've never heard of her, but your neck is a random place to get your child's name tattooed on you.....

I would totally name a second daughter Marigold and call her Goldie. And I am pretty pro-nickname-as-a-full-name, but I do have a bit of trouble imagining Goldie as a given name.

I don't like it either, as a nn for Marigold as suggested I can do it as a name.

Not a fan. Apparently it's just me since no one else has said this, but I think Goldilocks.

Initially I thought of Goldie Haun but then looked at all the pet references and I totally turned me off. Plus, what if your daughter isn't blonde?

I think it is cute as a nickname for Marigold like others have said but not as a stand-alone name.
Goldie by itself reminds me of the goldfish from Mickey

I also thought of Goldie Hawn which makes me not hate it, but I wouldn't consider using it either

I'm clearly in the minority but I really like it! I think it's a bit retro/hipster, which I think is cool, but also sweet.

I can't help but think your wording might have biased the crowd lol! I don't hate it... but I think it works for ages 7and under and 75 and above best and there is a whole lot of life inbetween!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: honestly.... it had actually crossed my mind at one point. One of the names I am thinking for my LO kind of directly translates to "golden", but I thought it wouldn't really work as husband's granny had a dog called Goldie

By itself? No. Marigold is sweet and Goldie would be an adorable nickname. Goldie by itself is like Goldie-locks and the three bears to me...

Terrible legal name - can you imagine a CEO named Goldie? Marigold, however, I could see, with Goldie as the name people called her, and she could go by Mari if she grew up and hated it. Although I personally cannot stand it.

I have a mutual acquaintance who named their daughter Goldie. Not joking. My friend joked that Goldie sounds like an old grandma in Boca Raton, FL.
