I love
Mary, and like you I have a soft spot for Mary-Kate. If I had a
Mary she would be
Mary Kathleen Amarantha nicknamed Mary-Kate :)
My Aunt is a
Mary Theresa and my uncle
Joe is also married to a
Mary (yeah they are
Mary and
Joseph :-p) and she is
Mary Catherine. When we are all together my
Nana calls them Mary-Tessa and Mary-Cay respectively.
I prefer non-hyphenated names with a longer mn and then shortening it. For example, with the name
Mae, I like
Mae Isobel nn Mae-Belle.
Some suggestions:
Mary ClaraMary Susannah "Mary-Anna", "Mary-Sanna"
Mary Adelena "Mary-Lena"
Mary Theresa "Mary-Tess", "Mary-Tessa"
Mary Rosamund,
Mary Rosalie "Mary-Rose"
