Help[Opinions] Re: Megan, Marjorie, Mindy
in reply to a message by Billina
MINdy or MIENdy? Either way, it's flimsy and nicknamey.
Megan, bizarrely, has pronunciation issues and has been viral as both MEGan and MEEgan, with the occasional MAYgan for comic relief. I used to like it, and I still like the MEGan version, but I'd never use it or recommend it any more.
Marjorie is a good way of spelling a good name. I had a distant relative who was sometimes known as Marj or Marjie, which isn't the best, but it's a whole lot better than Maggie or - a South African special! - Marghie, with -gh- indicating a g sound, not a j. This is unfortunate, I suppose, because I do prefer Margaret to Marjorie, but since both are prone to nicknames it hardly matters. In this company, Marjorie wins hands down.
