I'd go with Marie if it's to honor someone. I've had this same predicament because Marie is my MIL's mn and her mother's mn, so I think it would be nice to use it if I ever had the chance. I try to retain that it is a simple, sweet little name, and oh well if it's a common mn. I'll know it has meaning and isn't filler, at least!

That said, I love Miriam, too, and it would make a more interesting mn. I guess it just depends on how you feel about which names are still qualified as honoring.
