[Opinions] Margaret or Marjorie

I prefer Margaret because it's classier. But I like Marjorie too.
I also like Marguerite, but no alternate spellings on any.

Both are classic. I guess I prefer Margaret for its nns and because Marjorie has always made me think of margarine (the j sound).I prefer these spellings.Margaret: Meg, Meggie, Daisy, Maisie, Maggie
Marjorie: Margie, Marge (though that's awful), Jorie (not much better)ETA mns. I thought you meant nns. ;-)Margaret Susanna (my fave)

1. I prefer Marjorie, just because Margaret seems too old and stuffy to me still.
2. I vastly prefer Marjory to Marjorie, it comes across as cuter and simpler.

1. Margaret, definitely. Marjorie is soooo dated, frumpy and just plain ugly imo.
2. No.
3. Margaret Sadie, Margaret Freya, Margaret Phoebe, Margaret Louisa, Margaret Ivy, Margaret Bethany, Margaret Rebecca, Margaret Olivia, Margaret Felicity and Margaret Alice all work.

I like Marjorie better. Margaret is a bit too stuffy for my tastes, and Marjorie still has the same magenta charm. Really the only reason I've never considered it myself is due to a personal association.I like Marjorie and Marjory about the same.Marjorie Susan
Marjorie Summer
Marjorie Laura
Marjorie Catherine
