[Opinions] Re: Mary/Marie
in reply to a message by Katie
Mary Jane, unfortunately, reminds me of marijuana. Mary Kate is all right but puts me in mind of not only the actress, but Mary Kaye cosmetics. The others I don't really like- I don't like very many double names. A lot of them sound clunky. I do like:Annemarie or Annmarie
Marianne (or Marian)
Marilyn
Marlene (mar-LE-nuh, not mar-LEEN)
RosemarySuggestions for Marie names:
Marie-Cécile
Marie-Christiane
Marie-Rose
Marie-Jeanne
Marie-Catherine (ka-TREEN)And for boys, Jean-Marie.

I wouldn't hyphenate it in English. Mary Rose looks better.
