Mary Linnea -- perfection
Mary Leona -- not a fan of Leona personally, but it flows well
Mary Adelaide -- spunky retro-charmer -- love it
Mary Fleur -- works surprisingly well
Mary Celeste -- love it, but others usually point out the infamous ship, darn it
Mary Charlotte -- gorgeousA few of mine:Mary Nolwenn

Mary Callista is great! Mary Columbine would be so pretty but it has bad memories attached to it...maybe Mary Columba?

Mary Columba is gorgeous. Thanks! Columba is one of the few unisex names I love. :-)

Yum, Mary Callista. And Mary Columbine is so lovely, it's like something you'd see on a nursery wall. Mary Bridget is super buttoned-up and smart. Mary Linden is a gentle poem. Mary Evelyn is the nicest girl you've ever met.

Good point about Mary Rosamund and the 'r' sound. I hadn't thought of that, and now that you mention it it's bothering me!My favorites from your list are:
Mary Violet - so, so, so good.
Mary Diana - beautiful.
Mary Colette - I wouldn't have thought of Colette, but I really like this!
Mary Genevieve - lovely!
Mary Delphine - beautiful!Your list also gave me the idea for Mary Gwendolyn, with which I am now in love.Thanks very much for your ideas!
