Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Mary? (m)
in reply to a message by Sadie
1. I usually love classic names, but Mary has just never been a favourite of mine. I adore the names Maria, Marianne, Mrina, and a lot of other names which are related to Mary. Mary just doesn't have that special something I'm looking for in the names I love. It's still nice, though, and definitely not a bad choice for a name.
2. I do like the name Molly. It's very cute, though I can't really see why a name as short as Mary should have a nickname derived of it.
3. Probably yes. It's different when the actual name is a bit too long for daily use. Mary, however, is short enough already, so I think it would be smarter to just name a child Molly if she's going to go by that anyways. Unless there's a special reason for the use of the name Mary and a preferance to the name Molly.
4. Well... I just love the name Elizabeth, Mary is OK, and the flow is good, but I still don't like the name Mary Elizabeth because it's incredibly overused as a combo. I can't think of any feminine combo which is more common than Mary Elizabeth. That's why, instead of thinking of the combo as classic and pretty, I can't help but consider the name overused and worn.
5. I'd go for something classic, Jane Austenesque, like Elizabeth, Victoria, Cassandra, Lydia, Catherine, Julia or Louisa.
