[Opinions] Re: Mary
I think Mary is such a sweet, simple name. I prefer it as a first name, but I think as a mn it makes a much nicer alternative to Marie. At one time I did have Mary on my list of names I'd consider, but not anymore. I do still like it. If I did use it, I think I'd call her just Mary or a fn + mn combo. I really like Mary in combos where you use both names.Of those three nicknames, Molly is probably my favorite, but Marion is very pretty.I like these combos from your list:
Mary Isobel
Mary Eleanor
Mary Georgette
Mary Georgine
Mary Alexandra
In considering real use, I like the idea of pairing something a little more fresh and upbeat with it, like the examples of Mary Isobel and Mary Alexandra.And my own favorites, meant to be said together:
Mary Olwen
Mary Columbine
Mary Eliza
Mary Finola
Mary Siobhan
Mary Winifred

Why don't you have it on your list anymore (just asking out of curiosity)?I love your combos, but Mary Olwen, Mary Columbine and Mary Winifred are incredible.

There are just enough names I like more than it, and since we've done baby name picking I don't think it necessary to have my list longer than 4-5 names anymore.Glad you like some of my combos!

Well that makes sense. I have to admit that if I were ever to have a child Mary probably wouldn't be at the top of my list.
