Re: Marjorie or Marjolaine?
in reply to a message by Lumi
Marjolaine with its French pronunciation is very pretty. But, let it loose in an English-speaking environment and bad things will happen. And I dislike Laine as a nn - it would be one of the bad things, I expect.Marjorie is dated and stuffy but charming in a very retro way. Once again, Marje and Marjie put me right off it. But, if I had to choose, it'd be Marjorie for family reasons, though I'd rather go for Margaret.
