Marjorie was extremely popular in the 1920s, and has always been the more popular spelling in the United States (well, since the 1880s at least). I prefer Marjorie, and it seems fresher and younger to me. Margery is fine too, but it looks more medieval. Margorie looks weird; I've never seen that spelling before. Margery / Marjorie is usable in a modern context. It's not any more "old lady" than Alice and Eleanor and other names rising in popularity.

Marjorie, Dorothy, Virginia
Margery, Amabel, Lettice

That's the feeling I get from the different spellings.
