Mary __________ ?
Sorry. I haven't posted in a while. Anyway, Mary has been resonating strongly for me lately (not that it is ever not resonating, but around this time of year the synesthetic deep reds of the name that I perceive start to highlight its appeal). What is your ONE favorite combo with Mary as the first name? Please narrow it down to your first choice.Try to limit yourself to one middle name first, if you can. Simplicity is the hardest! :)

Mary MercyI am not embarrassed to admit that it's the name of a hospital I pass on my work commute. :-) I love both names and the repetition of the M and R.

Mary DemetriaMary benefits from having a pagan second name IMO, especially a goddessy name, otherwise she is too blessedvirginish for my taste. I prefer Maria anyway.

This rocks! You win the prize, OttilieI love this name, and also this spelling! My association of Iphigeneia, through its Greek heritage, is an appropriate middle name to accompany Mary! I love Gluck's opera Iphigeneia & Tauride; Iphegeneia's story correlates these names perfectly. Malheureuse Iphigénie

The opera by Glück is Iphigénie en* Tauride based on Goethe's Iphigenie auf Tauris. Tauride is a place name (Tauris, Tauri), not a separate character (à la Daphnis et Chloé, for example).

I have no love for Mary at all, so I have never made a combo with her before. This could be interesting. I have a few from my lists that I liked, but I think I like Mary Tatum best.

Mary GertrudeI associate Mary with blue, probably because the Virgin Mary is usually depicted wearing blue.

I also see it as a blue name. Also, props for using Gertrude.

Mary AsherahI like the religious juxtaposition. Asherah being the major pre-Jewish Semetic goddess, and Mary becoming the preeminent Christian woman.
