Re: Margery
in reply to a message by Felie
I don't like it. All I can think of when I see it or hear it is "margarine".Margery, that spelling, has never been as popular in the US as the spelling variant Marjorie was. Marjorie was a top hundred name from 1904 through 1945. Margery is not now in the top thousand so it's used very rarely, if at all. Marjorie, on the other hand, made a reappearance in the top thousand in 2013 and has gone from #909 to #798, so it looks like it may be coming back.
