Mary Elizabeth

Mary Elizabeth.

Mary Alice; but I'd prefer Mary Alison or Mary Alicia for rhythm and syllable variety.

Mary Jo and Mary Lou seem particularly dated, with Mary Ann and Mary Jane not far behind.

Mary Alice

Mary Alice

Mary Katherine

Mary Alice is my favorite, but I've also got a soft spot for Mary Margaret (it just tumbles off the tongue!).

Mary Alice is my favorite, though I love Marianne (chiefly this spelling) more.

Mary Ann, or a contracted form like Marian or Marianne

---

I might've said Mary Katherine if it didn't completely make me think of the Saturday Night Live character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Katherine_Gallagher)

*ETA: I'm glad to see Mary pop up in a combo as a fn! It's so simple but beautiful.

Mary Lou Mary Lou Mary Lou Mary Lou Mary Lou !!!

I like it even better with the hyphen. Mary-Lou! Wow adorable.

---

I do like it as a nickname for Mary Louise though. not to be stuffy.

Mary Elizabeth, but Mary Margaret is a very close second.

Mary Katherine, I suppose..

I like Mary Alice the best. :) It has nice flow.

Mary Katherine with the nn Mary-Kate

Mary Margaret, although I'd prefer Margaret Mary over that.

I do quite like Mary Katherine, too, but I like Mary Catherine better. :P
