I was reading the Nameberry description for [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], and it ended by saying that use of it may have declined with the rise of “margarine.” 
I would never have come up with this, and immediately declared that I wouldn’t even put “[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]” on my list.
Buuutt of course, now I can’t get the name out of my head, and I still think it’s super cute. What do you think, does [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]=margarine??
No… but it is a strong association. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is definitely better than the [name_f]Margery[/name_f] spelling. I think [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is usable.
People might not necessarily think of margarine, but I have to admit, I was what came to mind for me.
If you want similar names: [name_f]Marjolaine[/name_f], [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Margaux[/name_f], Magalie, Marcelline, [name_f]Marlene[/name_f].
What? 
I would have never made that association! I like [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]. It’s a good name!!
Unfortunately, the Nameberry’s descriptions aren’t the most assertive. I’m sorry you had to read that about a name you love.
I love [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaery[/name_f]. It’s been on my list off and on.
I completely feel your pain, with reading the “margarine” association. I dont think I would have made that connection at all, if I didnt read it on nameberry. It slightly ruined a lovely name, imo.
Regardless, I wish [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaery[/name_f] was used more. Its vintage and sweet, and pairs well with more popular names such as [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], etc.
I also like either spelling variation. I considered the spelling of [name_f]Margery[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaery[/name_f] to connect with my MN, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is a beautiful name! So pretty, sweet, and light. I rediscovered it when watching Game of Thrones (that character spells it differently though!), and I fell in love with the way the name sounds.
I would never have thought of margarine! I do hear the similar sounds, now that you’ve pointed it out, but I still don’t think it’s that big of a deal. If you love the name, you should definitely keep it on your list, I know personally I’d love to meet a little [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]!
Sadly, I have to say margarine is the first thing that comes to my mind. 
Tbh I don’t even know anyone who still uses margarine, so it’s not something that ever occured to me.
I really like the name [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]. Thinking about it in these terms, I’d say the [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] spelling helps distance it more, as compared to, say, [name_f]Margery[/name_f].
I would never in a million years think [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] = margarine! If anything [name_f]Margery[/name_f] looks more like margarine?
I think [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is pretty, light, and feminine! You could call her [name_u]Jorie[/name_u] for short too.
I would never have made that connection! [name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother’s name is [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], so I always think of her first. 
I think it’s time to bring this name back into fashion.
I love this name and I think it’s definitely usable.
I honestly don’t think I would have made that connection without reading it here! Lots of names sound sort of like a word, but as soon as they’re attached to a person, I feel like they tend to become associated with that person instead!
Yes, absolutely yes. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] makes me think of margarine.
I would shorten it to [name_u]Jorie[/name_u].
I did not make that connection and still don’t, maybe cause [name_f]English[/name_f] is not first language? [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] has nothing to do with margarine for me… I think it’s a beautiful name and I also like [name_f]Margery[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] and [name_f]Margarita[/name_f] ( probably my fav)
I adore [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], and the margarine connection has never occurred to me. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is my great-aunt’s name, so I associate it with those beautiful, elegant names of the 1920s (her sisters were [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]).
I mean, they do sound similar but i dont think it makes [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] unusable. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is an established name in its own right and [name_u]Jorie[/name_u] is a cool nickname
I don’t LOVE the name [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], but I adore [name_u]Jorie[/name_u] as a nickname. It’s not an honor name for my family, but if it were I’d definitely consider it and employ that nickname.
I never would have thought of that. Is margarine even still a thing?
Haha, it sounds like there is no consensus. 
For some it’s an immediate association and for others, we’d never see it. 
But I’ve realized it will never make the “short list” anyway for me personally. Our last name also starts with an “M” and has an “r”, so while I don’t necessarily mind alliteration, adding the repeated "r"s is too much. Thanks for everyone’s perspective!
I adore [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] very much! It was even one of my favs in my adolescence! It is elegant, classic but not dull!
I hadn’t realised the association until I read your words, but it doesn’t lose any charm for me.
