Funky middle name for Mary

Hello!

Mary as first name- it's traditional, iconic feminine name, a little austere and old fashioned maybe, so we'd like a really interesting (funky!) middle name to go with it - (also lots of names after Mary sound like a two parter- IE Mary Beth, Mary Kate) nothing biblical we already have that covered

So far we only have three
Mary Alba
Mary Summer
Mary Freya

I also like
Mary Rose
The fact it's a ship makes me smile

Surname is long but very pretty/ girly so we can take something unusual in the middle but shorter is better.

Any more suggestions??

Elisabetta or Valentina. Mary needs something extravagant and long next to it imo.

I like Mary Wren, and Aurora!
Celeste haha
Definitely want weirder ideas :-)

What does everyone think of Mary Rose? Would it encourage teasing or would most kids not catch the reference?

Just thought of Mary Ariel but it's a bit half rhyme??

@GreatDuckCookery the surname covers that front, so we'd like something she can use if she turns out to be a little punk or not at all girlie...

Mary is such a gorgeous name! Love it.

Mary Rose is not 'funky' - Rose is one of the most popular middle names. It also makes me think of Marie Rose sauce.

BevBrook · 05/09/2018 12:56

I think very few children are likely to know about the Mary Rose, and hardly anyone ever uses both first and middle name anyway.
