Megan, because I prefer the pronunciation and spelling to the others.

I'm surprising myself by going with Mindy. I can picture it equally on a toddler, a 30-something woman, and a grandmother. I'd prefer it as a nn, but I'm not sure for what full name.

---

Megan fits in with my usual choices - well known, boring, but wouldn't raise an eyebrow. I'm just feeling Mindy more today.

---

I don't like Marjorie at all. It reminds me of margarine and cows.

Marjorie. Megan sounds like a mean cheerleader's name. Mindy is cute, but I like it more as a nickname. Marjorie makes me think of a bookworm with a big heart.

Megan because it is the most classic-sounding. I know Marjorie has history but I don't like the sound, plus it is too similar to margarine. Mindy is too cutesy.

Marjorie, it's a sweet old lady name that's due for a comeback. Megan is very dated to my generation and Mindy sounds like a name you'd give an obnoxious minor character in a sitcom.

Marjorie, that spelling. Nice name.

---

Megan is ok, and Mindy is a nickname.

Mindy. It's cute and cheerful. One of my good friends is named Mindy, short for Melinda Erin.
Marjorie is sweet in a grandma kind of way. Megan is obnoxious.

That's easy - Megan because of it's Celtic roots (pronounced Mee-gin). Better: Meghan (pronounced (Meg-in)
Marjorie is very much an old lady name
Mindy is a nn, and sounds too much like minty, as in toothpaste. Or windy, as in passes a lot of gas.

Mindy

---

Megan is too boring. Marjorie is too dated. Mindy, while I'm not wild about it, is fresh.

Megan, most classic, suits all ages

I enjoy Mindy--perhaps due to the sound.

MINdy or MIENdy? Either way, it's flimsy and nicknamey.

---

Megan, bizarrely, has pronunciation issues and has been viral as both MEGan and MEEgan, with the occasional MAYgan for comic relief. I used to like it, and I still like the MEGan version, but I'd never use it or recommend it any more.

---

Marjorie is a good way of spelling a good name. I had a distant relative who was sometimes known as Marj or Marjie, which isn't the best, but it's a whole lot better than Maggie or - a South African special! - Marghie, with -gh- indicating a g sound, not a j. This is unfortunate, I suppose, because I do prefer Margaret to Marjorie, but since both are prone to nicknames it hardly matters. In this company, Marjorie wins hands down.

Megan I only really like spelled Meghan.
Marjorie is ok.
Mindy I’ve always had a soft spot for, as well as Lindy. Mindy is adorable.

---

Mindy.

---

If the spelling of Meghan is flexible, I’d choose Meghan first, then Mindy. I technically like all of them.

All are bad.

---

Megan because it's been too popular and is now dated.

---

Marjorie because it makes me think of margarine.

---

Mindy because it should be a nickname and it's a little too cutesy.

---

But if I had to, Mindy. I'd rather put up with a nickname as full name and cutesy than margarine or not-too-long-ago-popular-and-now-sinking-like-a-stone. If it were Melinda nn Mindy, I'd have an easier time.

Marjorie 100%

---

Except I prefer it spelled Margery. Mindy's weird. Megan's boring.
