HelpMary Virginia
Some southern ass preppy woman has named her baby Mary Virginia (double name). I think it's a bit much. Wdyt?
(This is not unusual for the area, especially for people to trying to achieve that old southern thang)

As a combo, it's lovely. As a double name...meh, too much of a mouthful and like others have said, it's very nunlike.

Well I love the name Mary, but I will not mention anything else.

Marry Virginia. Merry Virgin. Virgin Mary. The Merry Virginian.
It's vaguely comical. Like I picture someone clutching her pearls.
But it also seems really ordinary, in a preppy way.

It sounds too much like “Mary Virgin”. I like Virginia on its own, though.

The problem with Mary Virginia is just, the BVM. It makes me think of Catholicism. Not that Catholicism is bad, but just that there's too fine a point on Mary Virginia.
Other than that, to me it seems not much different from any other Mary double name.
I think it's fine - it's not worse for a name to sound southern than it is to be associated with any other image.
It seems too long on paper, but I've been friends with people who have long double names, and in real life it didn't bother me.

I love it, but agree with you. That's my go to combo for Mary in my head, but it's too much Virgin Mary in one name.

I take it back ...
I still think Mary Virginia sounds like an old lady who owns a tearoom, but first and foremost, it sounds like a nun's name.

Sister Mary Virginia.
In fact, I went to school with a girl named Virginia who did become a nun.

Very Virgin Mary.

It's very old-lady. Virginia's not terrible, but it's definitely elderly and a touch grim. Mary is a placeholder name to me, even more so than Sarah. The whole thing adds up to this image of a very proper old woman who might own a small, very upmarket cafe or tearoom.
