Thoughts on Mary

[Sunshine1235]

Is it dated? A bit plain? My DH loves it and it fits all our criteria but I’m just not sure if I love it or if it’s a bit blah.

Any suggestions for a middle name to modernise it a bit? Something long I was thinking like Mary Clementine. Any ideas welcome

It’s beautiful

Love it. Would have been on my list for DD but one side of the family ~(regional accent) would have said it as Merry.
It's a cousin's mn and I always liked it.

Love it! Quite unusual to hear it on a baby now, its classic and beautiful

Ps Mary Clementine is just beautiful!!

Mary Clementine for definite

Other ideas

Mary Josephine
Mary Jemima
Mary Georgina
Mary Valentina
Mary Elizabeth
Mary Francesca
X

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m wondering about quite a hippyish nature middle name to balance out the more classic first name

Mary Autumn
Mary Clementine
Mary River
Mary Robyn

Any other suggestions?

I really like it.

Mary is so wonderful. And Mary Clementine is great. I think Mary is quite hard to pair with a middle without it sounding very nun like.

Mary Jessamine
Mary Adelaide
Mary Tabitha
Mary Juliet

...as some other suggestions. But Mary Clementine is great.

I like it. I don't usually like the name Clementine but it works brilliantly as a middle name with Mary.

In that case, how about

Mary Delilah
Mary Blossom
Mary Helena
Mary Eden
Mary Evelyn

I love it been in my family for generations..
We a have a Mary Bridget.. a Mary Anne and a Mary Cecilia we also have an Ava Mary

I love it

Mary Scarlett
Mary Hermione
Mary Cecilia
Mary Florence

Any lovely strong name goes so nicely with it!

Love these suggestions and the positivity around the name too. It’s a family name for us too so would be lovely to use it. You’re all reassuring me that it’s not quite a plain as I feared. Love Florence, Hermione, Evelyn and Eden as suggestions.

Love it.

Love it! Mary Autumn would be lovely

Classic but underused, love it!

Mary Clementine sound just fine.
good choice.

Mary Autumn - no, Merry Autumn
Mary Clementine - don't like Clemetine
Mary River - Mary Rivers to Cross
Mary Robyn - no, they don't go together

I'd avoid noun or adjective mn.

Florence - fine,
Hermione - too HP for me
Evelyn and Eden - dislike both.

Love it. Mary Clementine is just beautiful.

I quite like Mary Denise

It works for me

Yes, Mary Clementine is lovely.

I'm a Mary.

Nickname as a small child was Mary Mary..I was apparently quite contrary 😁

It's lovely, and she won't be one of five Marys in her class (unless you start a trend!)

Totally love it and would've used it except her brother was already called Joseph!
