I really like this name though I prefer it spelt Margery.

Margarine. That's all I can think of. And we all know that butter is better.

I like it, and I also like Margery. Not happy with Marje or Marge as a nn - too breadspread - and not sure which spelling I'd choose if I had to.

I adore Marjorie, though I prefer Margery, which is stodgier and more medieval.

It's really growing on me. I see it pretty often at work (because old people), and the character of Margaery (same pronunciation as Marjorie) on Game of Thrones has given it some limelight recently too. I find the spelling Marjorie really sweet and light as well. "Jorie" would be a fresh-sounding nickname (rather than the more old fashioned Marge or Margie - which are still super cute, but maybe too retro for some).

I think it's such a pretty name! My favorite spelling is Margery, but I think Marjorie's fine. Madge is my favorite nickname for it, and I'm not even one to push nicknames (I personally don't plan on really using them if I ever have children). I definitely prefer Margery/Marjorie to Margaret; it's just prettier, in my opinion.

I've always loved it. I think it feels very sweet, youthful, and upbeat, and it's also nice and cool/fresh feeling and white to me, which is pleasant and makes it stand out.

I like it. It's very upbeat, somehow, & it's got a nice old-fashioned appeal without sounding precious.

I like it. It's pretty in a way that isn't vapid or airy, it has its feet on the ground. It's friendly, but not in an overly trusting way. It's spunky and cute. :)

I like it. I had a friend growing up who went by Jori for short and I always liked her name

Love it, though I slightly prefer the spelling Marjory. I'm debating with myself on whether I prefer just Marjory or Marjolaine.
