HelpRe: Margery
in reply to a message by Felie
Margery is the original spelling, Marjorie is a spelling variant. Just like Kaitlyn is a variant of Caitlin. I will never understand how Marjorie became the most popular spelling just as I will never understand how Kaitlyn became more common than the beautiful Caitlin. Margery looks so much nicer!
I actually really like Margery. It's cute, has a nice meaning and gives me a medieval feel, kind of like Cecily. I read somewhere once that its closeness to the word margarine might have killed it and I think that might be true. Anyway, I don't really think of the word when I hear it and in my opinion it is ready for a comeback! I like it much much more than Marjorie which looks odd to me and I like it a bit more than Margaret.
Yes, I think it is used occasionally but it isn't popular anymore at all.
Similar names in style would be other medieval favorites like Cecily, Amice, Amity, Alice, Alison, Jane, Mary etc.
Similar in sound would be Marnie, Marilyn, Marguerite, Maren, Marina, Margie (maybe as a nickname for it) and also names with a similar rhythym such as Melody, Hilary etc.
