Mary, all the way. Marie, pronounced maREE, is not at home in English in the same way as, say, Louise or Annette. And where I live, if we see Marie written down, we assume it's pronounced MAHree, which makes it both unFrench and dated.

Are Marie biscuits exclusively South African? And how did Marie Lloyd pronounce her name? Anyone?
