The name of Marlies creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent. Projects that allow you to explore and expand new concepts, and express creatively with no restrictions, bring the most satisfaction. This name is not sufficiently stable to bring adequate rewards for your efforts. Preferring to be your own boss, you resent being in a subservient position unless you hold those above you in high regard, and your ideas are listened to and respected. You appreciate change and travel, and the opportunity to meet and mix with others, and to influence them with your creative ideas. Because you are ambitious, self reliant, and confident, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to; however, you sometimes lose interest before reaching your objective. Patience is not your forte, especially with those who are more methodical by nature. You are humanitarian, inclined to champion the underdog or to defend a cause where you feel there is an injustice. When under strain, tension could affect the stomach and solar plexus causing indigestion or ulcers. This name also creates caustic expression and moods which prevent harmony and happiness in close association.
