Middle name for Marjorie

[AmberGuide]

Hi! We've finally settled on naming our daughter Marjorie, and now we're just looking for middle names. It doesn't need to have familial significance since Marjorie does already, so any suggestions you've got would be lovely!

This is our list so far:

Marjorie Eloise
Marjorie Aurelia
Marjorie Renée
Marjorie Juliette

FYI - she's a triplet (2 girls 1 boy) and the other girl was to be Cecilia Renée, but we're willing to switch it to something else if Renée works better for Marjorie! So something like Marjorie Renée, Cecilia Eloise IYSWIM. TIA!

Marjorie Eloise

I love the name Jasper!

If you love Marjorie, please don’t let us put you off :) I think I only ‘heard’ Margarine after saying it with the middle name Renee.

Jasper Harrison
Cecilia Renee
Marjorie Eloise

I personally think Marjorie Aurelia is a bit much compared to the other two names and Juliette doesn’t seem to flow quite as well.

Marjorie is so ugly. Especially next to Cecilia. Marge is so clumpy. I can imagine the triplet wondering why they got lumbered with Marge when the other got Cecilia. And yes, it sounds like Margarine.

Rose is massively overdone as a middle name.

I know you weren't asking an opinion on Marjorie and I know it is coming back! But from where.
I have to say my grandma was Marjorie born in 1922. She got called Madge by her workmates. She didn't have a middle name. But I can't say I ever liked the name and just called her things like wonderful nansie or grandma.
But I loved the actress called Margi Clarke.

For what it's worth I think Marjorie Rose is the nicest but I just say Marjorie Dawes! Sorry.

Marjorie is lovely.

Some suggestions...
Marjorie Helene
Marjorie Suzanne
Marjorie Anne
Marjorie Catherine/Katrina
Marjorie Noelle

I'm afraid I agree it's an awful name to be saddled with. As for posters suggesting Rose...FFS, 2 out of 3 girls have it as their middle name. SO done to death. I'd suggest Faith.

Faith is just as naff as Rose, if not more so.

Hi OP,

something worth considering is that she might be nicknamed Marge by her friends and it might stick even if you don’t like it. My DD has a nickname I’m not a fan of for the same reason

Marjorie is my favourite Taylor Swift song, a lovely one for her late grandmother. I know that's not what you asked but if you haven't heard it give it a listen. Beautiful name.

Marjorie May/Mae sounds nice :)

I would only choose Marjorie if you like Marge - in my experience you can control shortenings in primary school but that changes in secondary school!

If you'd called me Marjorie I would have been using my middle name as soon as possible.

Please be kind to your child and choose another name.

Marjorie.

Well I never.

She will totally get called Marge whether you intend it or not.

Marjorie Jane.

If you're up for reconsidering...Marjorie is honest to god awful. So wet and drippy.

Marge? Who wants to end up being called that?

I'm sorry OP, but as much as I loved my (very glamourous) Great Aunt Marjorie, I always pitied her for her name. All I can think is lucky Cecelia and Jasper...

Eloise is wonderful.

I would be so upset if i was called Marjorie and my sister had the beautiful name Cecilia.
My sister has a beautiful name. I have a really dated, clunky name. Ive always hated it. I have always been jealous of my sister because of it.
Please don't call her Marjorie. Eloise is so much nicer.

Marjorie 🫣 I’m not sure it’s due a revival ever yet, and it doesn’t really go with Cecilia and Jasper as a sibset.

If you’re firm on Marjorie, make sure she has a lovely middle name as she may well decide to use that instead!

Please not Marjorie. Imagine being a teenager called Marjorie There was a girl at my school called Marjorie and we called her Margarine 🧈 Or she'll be like Marge Simpson!!

When I saw your first post and that there are girl twins I thought Cecelia Renee & Juliette Marjorie combination would be lovely

I don't love Marjorie but I don't need to - like others though I think there's disparity between the two forenames

Don't 'rethink' it just because someone doesn't like it.

If you like it, go with it, otherwise every child will end up called Zenox, or Will.who.He, or Tik-Tox and every house will be grey inside and out.
