HelpRe: WDYT of Mary? (m)
in reply to a message by Sadie
1. What do you think of Mary? Too old? Too boring?--It's a little boring but when you think about it, Mary has a really pretty sound. I actually considered Mary Katherine (Mary Kate) for my eldest child and was recently thinking how pretty Mary Elizabeth (Mary Beth) is. Still, I think it's a little too ordinary for me even though it's not used that often any more, is it? I find it somewhat refreshing.
2. Do you like the nn Molly?--I like Molly well enough. I have to be honest and say that it makes me think of a dog's name. In fact, I had a beagle named Molly B when I was a child. Anyway, I do prefer the sound of Mary.
3. If someone plans to use only a nn (like Molly), should they just name the child the nn?--I usually prefer the formal name but in some instances when the nn is so different from the original name (Jack, Molly, Sally), I'd just go with the nn.
4. Do you like the combo Mary Elizabeth? This is one I'd probably consider using, as it's a family name that's special to me.--See #1 above. If it's a family name, then I'd use it and not worry what people would think. There are other forms of Mary you could use such as Maria, Marisa and Marielle.
5. What's a good name for a sister?--My children are Katherine, Victoria and Anna and I happen to think those go perfectly with Mary. Other names: Alexandra, Caroline, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Jane, Julia, Laura, Rebecca, Susanna, Teresa.
