For the ancient Greeks and Romans, marjoram was a symbol of love and happiness. Marjoram has a long history of being used in love spells. Some believe that, if a young woman places marjoram under her pillow while she sleeps, her future spouse will be revealed to her in a dream. Today, marjoram is considered essential for Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Marjoram is a very easy herb to cook with because of its mild flavor. Cooking enthusiasts have even coined the phrase, “when in doubt, use marjoram”.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (born May 27, 1974), also known by her initials MTG, is an American politician, businesswoman, and far-right conspiracy theorist who has been the Republican U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district since 2021. She is a very controversial bearer of this name, so you may want to keep that in mind if you’re thinking of using this name. I think it’s a nice name, but she’s a terrible person.

No offense, but I like Marjorie better than Margaret. I don't know, Marjorie sounds more elegant, more sophisticated and less common to me than Margaret. It also has a more beautiful sound. It is a lovely name.

My mother named me Marjorie which is a very unique and rare name followed by the middle name of Rose which made my name even more beautiful I think. I was named after my aunt and great grandmother.

Mae, May, Mamie, Madge, Marie, Mimi, Miri, Mira, Jojo and Ree are potential nicknames. I once read "Rory" as a nickname suggestion as well, which I also like. I feel that most nicknames for Mary or Margaret could work for Marjorie. I think that "Marjo" could work as a nickname as well.

I love this name, as I do tend to be very fond of most English names beginning with M.
You could call her Margie, Jorie (or Jory? Maybe not this one) or you could maybe get away with nicknaming her Mary.
I love this for all ages, it grows so well.

I think Marjorie is a lovely name - but what keeps me from using it is the potential for the nickname Marge, which I think sounds horrid.

Marjorie is an aesthetically pleasing name and I love the meaning "pearl" (from Margaret) and also "flowering herb" (from marjoram). It fits very well into the vintage revival trend without being super popular. It has a long history as a name, which for me is one of the more important requirements. The nickname Jorie is fresh and adorable. I really love Marjorie.

Marjorie is a tolerable name, I suppose. In my personal opinion, it reminds me a bit of the horrible "butter" impersonator called "Margarine".
Mari is a cute nickname, if one chooses.

This is my middle name. I much prefer this spelling to "MARGERY". I like (a lot) it as a middle name, but I am glad it isn't my first name, as it took me ages to learn how to spell it.

This is definitely a better spelling than Margery, but it sounds just as unpleasant. Somehow this seems like an old-fashioned elitist name, even if it isn't one.
