[Opinions] Re: Marie
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Mari (MAH-ree) *way* more than I like Marie.
Marie has just been ruined for me. It seems so old, tacky Southern Baptist Church lady to me. And I also associate it with names I think are tacky, like Tiffany or Brittany, because Marie was so often the middle name. You see Marie less paired with classic names, at least in my experience.
So yeah, I pretty strongly detest it.
If I met a French woman named Marie, it might change my mind.
I think Maria is much prettier, but my favorite form of this name is simply Mary.
