Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Mary? (m)
in reply to a message by Sadie
1. Mary is old, but so not boring. :) It's a classic that can be recycled and reused and never become stale. Perhaps due to a timeless quality or more simply the ability to pair just about any name with Mary and still be able to make a fabulous combo.
2. I like the nickname Molly, but I'd really prefer Molly as a separate, independent name. I also like Polly, too, which is a popular nickname for Mary in my family. Honestly, I don't think Mary requires a nickname. It's lovely as is.
3. Hmmm, if used as a pet name or term of endearment, I don't see a problem with using something like Molly. However, if Molly is going to be used as a nickname and will be the primary moniker, I think it's best to just go ahead and use Molly.
4. If Mary Elizabeth is special to you and a family name as well, then by all means use it. It certainly is a very nice name, however I have to say that I know about seven Mary Elizabeth/Elisabeths. It must be a nice name if it's being widely used. ;)
5. For a sister, I'd stick with something along the same line as Mary Elizabeth--classical, yet traditional and timeless. Maybe something like Catherine Alice, Adelaide Margaret, Matilda Jane, Grace Catherine and Celia Rose.
