Shorten it to Mary Beth?

My first name is just Elizabeth and I think it's too long. A 4-syllable is an ass-ache to say quickly. So yes, Mary Elizabeth is definitely too long as a first name.

Also, don't call her Mary Jane. It's well-known slang for marijuana.

Prefer Mary Jayne..

Beautiful.

Sounds like someone trying too hard to be posh with the names, with them being synonymous with queens. Unless that's you Kate?

Yes. It's 6 syllables! Pick one.
