Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote "The Yearling," a book about a young boy and his pet deer. The edition I have was illustrated by N. C. Wyeth, who also illustrated "Treasure Island."
This is definitely a better spelling than Margery, but it sounds just as unpleasant. Somehow this seems like an old-fashioned elitist name, even if it isn't one.
In one South Park episode, Marjorine was the name Butters used when disguising himself as a girl.

This is my middle name. I much prefer this spelling to "MARGERY". I like (a lot) it as a middle name, but I am glad it isn't my first name, as it took me ages to learn how to spell it.
Marjorie is a tolerable name, I suppose. In my personal opinion, it reminds me a bit of the horrible "butter" impersonator called "Margarine". Mari is a cute nickname, if one chooses.
