Help[Opinions] Re: Marjorie
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
I love both Marjorie and Margery.
Someone on another site said she liked Margery because it was the Scottish form and it looked softer. She sold me on the Margery spelling.
Until . . . F. Scott FitzGerald used Marjorie for a 20's heroine and now I'm back to being torn. I think I learn toward Marjorie because Margery reminds me a little too much of margarine.

I love reading 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair' but I think that is the only story by him I actually read, a pity, I'll have to look Mr. FitzGerald up. Which book/story was it where Marjorie was the heroine?
Oh yes, the Scottish form of Mary thing is another reason why I love the name Marjorie! I first started to like it when I read a book about Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, the hero was actually a fictional character name Archie who fought along side Wallace, and Archie's love intrest was named Marjorie, well at least that's what her uncle called her, her real name was Mary.
Using a Scottish name will also honor my dad's mom who loved all things Scottish and named her kids Colin, Bonnie Jean, and Kenneth! :)
Thanks for your comments! :)
