Mary, all the way. Marie, pronounced maREE, is not at home in English in the same way as, say, Louise or Annette. And where I live, if we see Marie written down, we assume it's pronounced MAHree, which makes it both unFrench and dated.Are Marie biscuits exclusively South African? And how did Marie Lloyd pronounce her name? Anyone?
