Middle names for Mary?
by Sekhmet (warriorgoddess)

I'm completely stuck. What are some quirky, offbeat middle names for Mary? I like to pair sweet old-fashioned first names with bouncier, more exciting middle names. For example, I like Molly, Jane, Anne, Susan, Dorothy, Ruth, Eleanor, Catherine, Laura, Rachel, Alice, Rose, Benjamin, Henry, Arthur, and Spencer as first names, and Evening, Araceli, Xavia, Octavia, Ariadne, Lyra, Caoimhe, Phaedra, Eowyn, Ziva, Antigone, Phoenix, Phineas, Zeus, Asa, Achilles, Legolas, and Raiden for middle names. You don't have to use any of those names, I'm just listing them to give an example of my style.

I like that idea too, using more uncommon mns with more traditional fns. What about:Mary Zelda
Mary Willow
Mary Talitha
Mary Sky
Mary Della
Mary Freya
Mary Hazel
Mary Jemima
Mary Lilac
Mary Lyric
Mary Neriah
Mary Belle / Bella
Mary Violet
Mary Viola
Mary Vienna
Mary Paris
Mary Cleo
Mary Zara

One of the best things about Mary (which I find very refreshing, by the way) is that you get to have fun with the mn. You almost have to have fun with it, to prevent Mary sounding too nunny, if you know what I mean. Sorry for any repeats, but these are some of my favorites:Mary Columbine / Columba
Mary Finola
Mary Cassandra
Mary Juniper
Mary Celeste / Celestine (heck with that darned ship)
Mary Siobhan
Mary Evelina
Mary Victorina
Mary Ishbel / Isibeal ("ISH-bayl")
Mary Alexandrina
Mary Elspeth
Mary Sinead
Mary Keziah ("keh-ZIE-uh")
Mary Olwen
Mary Paloma
Mary Chenoa ("sheh-NO-uh")(Nat. Am.)
Mary Sabrina
Mary Ottoline ("-leen")
Mary Emmeline ("-leen")
Mary Callista
Mary Jacintha
Mary Tiomthea
Mary Theodora

My personal favorite Mary combo is Mary Jane, but that's obviously not what you're looking for...I kind of like Mary Phoenix, from the names you listed above. However, I also like Mary Letitia.

Mary Calliope is tops. :-) Mary Talitha sticks in the back of my mind. I have a feeling she will be with me all day.
