Re: Mary
I'd probably go with ¡ust Mary. If I had to have a nickname, of those I'd pick Molly. If I were going to use a double name it would be Mary-Lou. But almost all of the Marys I know are Mary+Mn and most of the ones that aren't go by their middle name, and I find it cowardly. And often really awful. Mary Ashton, Mary Bradley, etc, or else super boring things like Mary Beth. It's a southern thing I guess. Dad told me that he was telling someone that my mom's name was Mary and they said "Mary what?" and he was like ummmm well her middle name is Frances and they said "Oh okay Mary Frances." Eye-roll. Of course people do call her Mary Frances sometimesAnyway I love the name, I don't love it as much as I want. I'd use it Fn or mn but would rather fn.Combos are fun with it, aren't they? My favorite of yours are Eleanor, Alexandra, Isidora, Clementine. I dunno what combo I'd use. I like Mary Minerva pretty well.

Combos are so fun with Mary. Mary Minerva is pretty (though I far prefer your Minerva Maria Cecilia combo). I like Mary-Lou enough. It is my grandmother's name, but it's always seemed too incomplete to me.
