Which one, and why? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Megan, because I prefer the pronunciation and spelling to the others.

I'm surprising myself by going with Mindy. I can picture it equally on a toddler, a 30-something woman, and a grandmother. I'd prefer it as a nn, but I'm not sure for what full name.Megan fits in with my usual choices - well known, boring, but wouldn't raise an eyebrow. I'm just feeling Mindy more today.I don't like Marjorie at all. It reminds me of margarine and cows.

Marjorie. Megan sounds like a mean cheerleader's name. Mindy is cute, but I like it more as a nickname. Marjorie makes me think of a bookworm with a big heart.

Megan because it is the most classic-sounding. I know Marjorie has history but I don't like the sound, plus it is too similar to margarine. Mindy is too cutesy.

Marjorie, it's a sweet old lady name that's due for a comeback. Megan is very dated to my generation and Mindy sounds like a name you'd give an obnoxious minor character in a sitcom.

Ha, I was thinking of Mindy St. Claire from The Good Place but Mork and Mindy is probably the better known association!

Marjorie, that spelling. Nice name. Megan is ok, and Mindy is a nickname.

Mindy. It's cute and cheerful. One of my good friends is named Mindy, short for Melinda Erin.
Marjorie is sweet in a grandma kind of way. Megan is obnoxious.

That's easy - Megan because of it's Celtic roots (pronounced Mee-gin). Better: Meghan (pronounced (Meg-in)
Marjorie is very much an old lady name
Mindy is a nn, and sounds too much like minty, as in toothpaste. Or windy, as in passes a lot of gas.

MindyMegan is too boring. Marjorie is too dated. Mindy, while I'm not wild about it, is fresh.

Megan, most classic, suits all ages

I enjoy Mindy--perhaps due to the sound.

MINdy or MIENdy? Either way, it's flimsy and nicknamey.Megan, bizarrely, has pronunciation issues and has been viral as both MEGan and MEEgan, with the occasional MAYgan for comic relief. I used to like it, and I still like the MEGan version, but I'd never use it or recommend it any more.Marjorie is a good way of spelling a good name. I had a distant relative who was sometimes known as Marj or Marjie, which isn't the best, but it's a whole lot better than Maggie or - a South African special! - Marghie, with -gh- indicating a g sound, not a j. This is unfortunate, I suppose, because I do prefer Margaret to Marjorie, but since both are prone to nicknames it hardly matters. In this company, Marjorie wins hands down.

MIN-dee.

Megan I only really like spelled Meghan.
Marjorie is ok.
Mindy I’ve always had a soft spot for, as well as Lindy. Mindy is adorable.Mindy.If the spelling of Meghan is flexible, I’d choose Meghan first, then Mindy. I technically like all of them.

All are bad.Megan because it's been too popular and is now dated.Marjorie because it makes me think of margarine.Mindy because it should be a nickname and it's a little too cutesy.
But if I had to, Mindy. I'd rather put up with a nickname as full name and cutesy than margarine or not-too-long-ago-popular-and-now-sinking-like-a-stone. If it were Melinda nn Mindy, I'd have an easier time.
