My grandmothers names are [name]Frances[/name] and [name]Marjorie[/name]. We would like to honor them with more modern sounding names. Is [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marjolaine[/name] too much of a mouthful?
I like [name]Francesca[/name], but I can’t say I’m fond of [name]Marjolaine[/name] as a name. I love [name]Frances[/name], and I don’t think it’s too old at all. Other forms of [name]Marjorie[/name] you could use:
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Margareta[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Gretchen[/name]
[name]Gretel[/name]
I really like:
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
Yes, it does seem slightly too much.
[name]Francesca[/name] is beautiful. I love the suggestion of [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name].
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marjorie[/name] could work too…
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marjolaine[/name] is too much in my book. [name]Marjolaine[/name] [name]Frances[/name] would be great, and I also second [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name].
I think it’s really classy! but really long
I love both names, but I agree that together, it’s a lot of name.
You may also like [name]Margo[/name]/[name]Margot[/name]. I think that [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Margot[/name] (or [name]Margo[/name]) is beautiful.
Beacause [name]Marjorie[/name] is a form of [name]Margaret[/name], which means “pearl,” another (but less direct) way to honor a [name]Marjorie[/name] could be “pearl.” [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Pearl[/name].
Good luck!
I agree!
