I like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] on its own but lately I’ve been thinking of the variations.
Which one do you prefer?
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_f]Moira[/name_f]
[name_f]Maura[/name_f]
If you like other variations, post them here too.
Out of all those… I still like Nary best. Actually I even prefer the alternate spelling of [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Merry[/name_f]. Good luck!
What about [name_f]Mariella[/name_f]?
As a [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m] fan I am more drawn to [name_f]Moira[/name_f] than the rest, but I agree that lately I’ve been seeing the simple vintage appeal of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] on its own. I also love giving [name_f]Mary[/name_f] as a formal name and using old-fashioned [name_f]Polly[/name_f] as a nickname.
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] would be my favourite.
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
Maiwenn
I like [name_f]Mara[/name_f] the best. I do like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] too 
My personal favorite is [name_f]Mara[/name_f], but I think they’re all nice. [name_f]Maura[/name_f] has been growing on me lately…
I like [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Maribel[/name_f], [name_f]Maribeth[/name_f], [name_f]Mariana[/name_f], [name_f]Maryana[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Maura[/name_f], and [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
My favourite out of the ones you listed is probably [name_u]Marion[/name_u], although I like [name_f]Moira[/name_f] as a mn because of [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m]. I agree that sweet, vintage [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is my favourite but I also love [name_u]Marian[/name_u], [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Marietta[/name_f], [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f].
I like [name_u]Marion[/name_u] too, but I really love the alternate spellings of [name_f]Merry[/name_f], [name_f]Mari[/name_f] and Mhairi.
[name_f]Merida[/name_f] is the only one I like. Too many horrific personal associations w/[name_f]Mary[/name_f].
Sweet old [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is the best one for me. But I also like [name_f]Merilee[/name_f]. : )
Honestly, I love [name_f]Mary[/name_f] the best.
Of yours I like [name_f]Maura[/name_f]. My favorites:
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
Mariamne
[name_f]Marieke[/name_f]
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
as well as [name_f]Merry[/name_f], [name_f]Merrilee[/name_f], [name_f]Marilla[/name_f], and [name_f]Maryanna[/name_f].
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] is very charming and I think it’s about to make a comeback
I like [name_f]Maruska[/name_f] and [name_f]Mitzi[/name_f] as more offbeat variations. I have a soft spot for [name_f]Marietta[/name_f], too.
I like [name_f]Moira[/name_f] the best out of those. But I agree with other’s suggestion of [name_f]Mariella[/name_f]. Also really liking right now [name_f]Mariana[/name_f].
What about [name_f]Manya[/name_f]? [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Manya[/name_f] both have been popular names in my family tree.
