Help[Opinions] Margery
Hi !!!
I read that this name is the Medieval English form of Margaret and related with Marjorie.
I think it is better than both.
It seems sweet and refined.
1 WDYTO Margery?
2 Is it still used in the English-speaking world?
3 How is it judge?
4 Any similar name suggestion?

Margery is the original spelling, Marjorie is a spelling variant. Just like Kaitlyn is a variant of Caitlin. I will never understand how Marjorie became the most popular spelling just as I will never understand how Kaitlyn became more common than the beautiful Caitlin. Margery looks so much nicer!
I actually really like Margery. It's cute, has a nice meaning and gives me a medieval feel, kind of like Cecily. I read somewhere once that its closeness to the word margarine might have killed it and I think that might be true. Anyway, I don't really think of the word when I hear it and in my opinion it is ready for a comeback! I like it much much more than Marjorie which looks odd to me and I like it a bit more than Margaret.
Yes, I think it is used occasionally but it isn't popular anymore at all.
Similar names in style would be other medieval favorites like Cecily, Amice, Amity, Alice, Alison, Jane, Mary etc.
Similar in sound would be Marnie, Marilyn, Marguerite, Maren, Marina, Margie (maybe as a nickname for it) and also names with a similar rhythym such as Melody, Hilary etc.

Hi !!!
I'm a fan of both too!
Firstly I saw GOT after I wanted to read the real storyline.
I started one year ago (but with audiobooks) and now I just finished the fourth book. I also read the "Tales of Dunk and Egg" three stories. So I like that world very much.
But also if there were not Margaery this name would sound refined and lovely Medieval to me.

Some part of me loves the beautiful Medieval name Margery but another part of me thinks it sounds too similar to margarine. I knew a girl in middle school named Margery, she was best friends with Glynis/ Glynnis but also good friends with Peggy and Margot who were best friends.

1 Margery is one of those names that I like but I'm not sure how long I'll like it.
2 Yes.
3 Some might think that it's a little dated. I don't see that being too much of a problem.
4 Marguerite, Margot, Margaretta. More loosely, Morgana, Meredith, Miriam, Marigold, Maris. Maybe even the herb Marjoram, or the French version Marjolaine (mar-ZHO-layn).

This spelling has always reminded me of margarine :(. So I prefer Marjorie.
I don't think it's much used anymore, but I could see an ahead of the curve hipster parent using it. Lol.

I think Marjorie is cuter. Margery sounds like a place where you'd store your margarine. Like an old-fashioned buttery, but for fake butter.
Marjorie seems to still be used today, though it's not been popular in many decades. I think the Marge sound is a big factor in its unpopularity. Margaret is much more popular and always has been. Marjorie is generally seen as a sweet grandma type name today, like Betty.

I don't like it. All I can think of when I see it or hear it is "margarine".
Margery, that spelling, has never been as popular in the US as the spelling variant Marjorie was. Marjorie was a top hundred name from 1904 through 1945. Margery is not now in the top thousand so it's used very rarely, if at all. Marjorie, on the other hand, made a reappearance in the top thousand in 2013 and has gone from #909 to #798, so it looks like it may be coming back.

1. I think its okay but the spelling sort of looks like an adjective like buttery, slippery, watery, etc. so I prefer the other spelling, Marjorie.
2. It is still used in English but probably not as widely as Marjorie. You would have to look through recent SSA listings to find out.
3. How is it judge? Do you mean "how will people judge it?" If thats the question, I think people will be fine with it but may mispronounce it Marg-ery instead of marje-ery.
4. My suggestions would be Marjolaine, Margolette, and Marigot.
