I've been growing fond of the girl's name Margery lately. It's a good, less common alternative to the similar-sounding Margaret -- a name which (in my opinion) is decent, but rather bland. I also like it far better than Margorie or Marjorie, which definitely carries an old-lady vibe. For me, Margery brings to mind a youthful, astute young lady; however, it's also appropriate for someone older.

What do you think? Is is usable in a modern context, or is it too much of an "old lady" name? Do you prefer Margorie, Marjorie, or another alternative spelling?
