HelpMary
My mother's name is Mary, and I've decided that if I ever have a daughter I will most likely give her an honoring middle name. But which name to choose? I don't want to use just Mary. So my question is what is (or are) your favorite name(s) that are related to Mary in some way (through look, meaning, etc)?
:) Thanks in advance for your help.

Maria; Marianne; Miriam. But Mary's also good.

I think Mary would be the best choice for a middle name. Anything else has been overdone. Look at these tasteful combos:
Abigail Mary
Caroline Mary
Charlotte Mary
Eleanor Mary
Elizabeth Mary
Frances Mary
Georgiana Mary
Guinevere Mary
Imogen Mary
Josephine Mary
Julia Mary
Louisa Mary
Olivia Mary
Penelope Mary
Sophia Mary
Susannah Mary
Theodora Mary
Victoria Mary
Winifred Mary
So classy and elegant!

My favorite is Máire, and I also like Mair, Marie, and Maria.

I'm against using a variant of the honoring names, to me that's not honoring. So I would go with Mary. Or Marie.

Mary is beautiful.
Sneaking a peek at your favorite combos I see you like Calista -- what about Mary Calista?
Miriam
Maria/Marie
Rosemary
Mary Madeleine/Magdalene (as two middle names or as a FN/MN)
Marion/Marian
Marianna/Marianne

If you don't want to go with Mary, then what about Miriam instead? It's a lovely name.

Miriam is very nice. :)

My mom's name is Mary too! My middle name is Marie after her (but I know lots of girls my age are named Marie, but mine is for a reason at least, haha). I've thought of using Mary related names as a way of "passing it down" and starting a tradition type thing in my family. Anyway, here are some of my favorite Mary-related names:
Mariella
Mariette
Marietta
May
Maren
Marian
Marielle / Mariel
Marigold
Marilene (this one even sounds like a combo of my mom fn & mn haha)
Moira
Rosemarie

Maren
Marian

Marigold

Moira
Rosemarie

My name is Mary -- and I like it as is!
But if you want a variation, just scroll through "M" names and you'll see so many variants of Mary:

I like the name Mary, but I wouldn't want to use it because it is my mother's exact name. I'd want to find something that's similar but just a little bit different. :)

There are also the contractions of Mary + another name, like Maryse, Mylene or Marisa.
And Mario and Marius, if you have a boy. ;)

Oh, I love just Mary! There are a lot of people with Mary or a form of Mary in my family (both of my grandmothers and my sister, for starters), so I'll definitely be using it or some form of it.
My favorite forms/related names/whatever are:
Mara
Marie (though I wouldn't really recommend it as a middle name!)
Marigold
Maris
Maureen
Miriam
Molly
Rosemary

I really like Mara. I like Marie as well, and you're right it is more lovely as a first name nowadays. I also like Miriam and Rosemary. :) Thanks so much!
