I adore Margery. She's #2 on my list atm. I adore her medieval charm and would alternately nickname her Maisie, May or Daisy (at least that's the thought right now).

You have a lot of lovely pairings but these are my very favorites:

Margery Adele
Margery Adeline
Margery Antonia
Margery Blythe
Margery Celandine
Margery Celestine
Margery Clémence
Margery Clothilde
Margery Cosima
Margery Eloise
Margery Estella
Margery Fenella
Margery Laetitia
Margery Lavender
Margery Léontine
Margery Lilac
Margery Lucille
Margery Luella
Margery Ottoline
Margery Pandora
Margery Violet
Margery Winifred

(my Margery combo is Margery Elinor Blythe)

I like Margery, although I'm not sure if I prefer that spelling or Marjorie. It's a very happy name-- the Marjorie spelling conveys that more for me, but I like the look of Margery better because I love Margaret. It's never made me think about margarine, so that doesn't bother me either.

Many of these are very nice, but I like these ones the most:

Margery Adele
Margery Blythe
Margery Cecilia
Margery Clémence
Margery Emmeline
Margery Fenella
Margery Finola
Margery Susan
Margery Winifred
