[Opinions] Re: Marjorie
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
I like the Marjorie spelling, but even if makes me think of margarine. :b I dislike Margie (for personal reasons) and also it makes me think of Marge Simpson, lol. But Marjie would be cute imo, as a nn for Marjorie. You could even use Jorie (JOR-ree). I have known two girls with this name, one had it as her given name and the other was a nn for Marjorie. But no, I don't think Marjorie is too old-fashioned or too old-ladyish. It's not something I would personally use but if I saw it on a little girl today, I would think it was pretty and refreshing. :)

Thanks so much!
I had never heard of Jory before and I'm starting to like it! Using Jory would certainly keep people from calling her Marge which I rather abhor just now.
And I think using Marjorie would really bless my dad's heart. I never met her my dad's gran, she died a few months before my parents were married, but he has talked about her a lot lately.
