Which do you like better as a first name? What kind of feel does each name give? Thanks!
[name]Mary[/name]. Although, I must admit I’m biased. It’s my name! 
[name]Marie[/name]>[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Maureen[/name]>[name]Moira[/name]>[name]Miriam[/name]>[name]Maris[/name]>[name]Maren[/name]
At the moment, [name]Marie[/name]. Which surprises me, since it’s my MN and I’ve hated it for so long. I can see why it looks appealing, though, it’s more dainty and feminine than the classic [name]Mary[/name]. [name]Just[/name] Friday, though, I was crushing on [name]Mary[/name] (I blame it on my Pride and Prejudice faze!). I think either would be lovely. I like [name]Mary[/name] more as a double name, though (like [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Grace[/name] or [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Liv[/name] or [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Bea[/name] or [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Fleur[/name]). I do like [name]Marie[/name] as a double barrel, too, though ([name]Marie[/name]-[name]Cecile[/name], [name]Marie[/name]-[name]Grace[/name], [name]Marie[/name]-[name]Camille[/name], [name]Marie[/name]-[name]Claire[/name], [name]Marie[/name]-[name]Simone[/name]…).
[name]Mary[/name]. [name]Marie[/name] feels kind of dated where as [name]Mary[/name] as a kind of vintage charm.
Because it was THE middle name choice of my generation, I will always and only ever see [name]Marie[/name] as a middle name! Terrible since it’s certainly lovely enough… but even putting that aside I’d choose [name]Mary[/name]. It’s so classic and timeless and she’d actually have a [name]UNIQUE[/name] name next to all the, well, NOT classy names she’ll no doubt be going to school with.
I watched Three Men and a [name]Baby[/name] the other day and fell in love with the idea of a baby being simply “[name]Mary[/name].” Hearing them call her [name]Mary[/name] just made me smitten. It sounds so pretty when you really pay attention to someone saying it.
[name]Marie[/name]! gorgeous
[name]Mary[/name]! I love [name]Mary[/name]. [name]Marie[/name] is a bit more difficult to say for me, it sounds more like [name]Murrey[/name] unless I pronounce it very carefully.
[name]Marie[/name], but prefer Mhairi ([name]Mar[/name]-ee) over both
[name]Marie[/name]! As a first name it’s so under used and pretty and sweet and elegant. I love it. Gorgeous. [name]Mary[/name] is okay, but I really only like [name]Mary[/name] as a double barrel first name such as [name]Mary[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Mary[/name] [name]Beth[/name], etc.
I do like both names. However, [name]Mary[/name] would be my pick for its classic quality.
[name]Mary[/name]. It’s a classic! [name]Marie[/name] feels somehow dated to me, even though it is a beautiful name. But I don’t think you can go wrong with [name]Mary[/name].
I prefer [name]Marie[/name]. But I like its charming lacy you-never-hear-it-anymore quality. [name]Mary[/name] is nice but I’ve loved [name]Marie[/name] forever.
[name]Marie[/name], of course! i love most of classic names but not [name]Mary[/name]…
It depends on the second name, but in general, I prefer [name]Mary[/name].
[name]Mary[/name]. [name]Marie[/name] feels over used and dated. [name]Mary[/name] will always be classy and has a vintage feel to the name.
[name]Marie[/name] is classier, [name]Mary[/name] is old fashioned and uber religious… if you’re into that sort of thing.
I prefer [name]Marie[/name].
[name]Mary[/name]. Classic and beautiful.
I spent my whole life not giving a damn about the name [name]Mary[/name], but now I really like it. I rarely ever hear it, except for a [name]Mary[/name] [name]Beth[/name] I knew in middle school, and a [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Alice[/name] I knew in university. [name]Just[/name] plain [name]Mary[/name] would be so sweet. [name]Marie[/name] is fine, though, just slightly less charming to me.
