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

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

Any more suggestions??

Yikes @Awwlookatmybabyspider had no idea 😳 Just looked it up and apparently she was called Mary Flora Bell. Mary Estelle is a lovely alternative.

I don't think anyone has said anything about Mary Rose being after the actual ship.

The OP does!

SO many good suggestions:

Re Mary Rose- yes it sank, but also, its this amazing restoration- the only ship we have from that time, I think Mary Rose is lucky! She is a survivor :-). Plus the kids that know what it is are clearly a higher class of bully...

I don't think you'd get teasing because hardly any kids know each other's middle names- bad initials are much worse....
Mary Willow is great,
Love Alberta and also made me think Mary Albertine?
The more androgynous or random nouns are great!

Combing through, seen so many that I like Thank you!!!

Btw if we went by due month Mary May which is somehow not as fun as Mary December would be. But I love the idea!

Middle names are so fun to get creative with :-)
