Which Mary do you like best?

Considering using the name Mary (in some form) either as a first, double first or middle for a future DD.  Which of these 3 do you prefer?

Mary- my fav, DH thinks is too plain

Marie- DH's fave

Maria- this was DH's mom's name

Any other versions of this name that you like?

I like Mary.

Maybe your DH would be more on board if you combined it with another name:

Mary Jane

Mary Claire

that sort of thing

Mary, Maria a distant second, Marie not at all.

Miriam is another version, but I don't care for it either.

I like plain old Mary. I think it's sweet.

I also love Mariam and Miriam.

Yes, this option is something we have talked about, but we can't seem to come up with the right Mary__________ combo.

I like Mary or Maria.  Either is lovely.  Marie is fine, I just prefer the other two.

I love Mary Ann.

I like Mariel a lot. Out of your choices I like Mary, then Maria. I've never cared for Marie. Mary in a double name is very old fashioned and sweet!

I like Mary best. Marie is fine. I dislike Maria.

Other ideas: Marian, Maureen.

Mary!

Miriam is my favorite girl name right now for a future DD. My Nana's name was Marie, and I want to honor her but without just using Marie as a middle name, which has been done in my family more than once.

For some reason, I just can't get on board with Mary by itself.  I do love Marie and Maria.  Another suggestion for a derivative is Mariana.

I like Mary or Marie as a first name. I don't really like double names. I like Mary as a middle name, but not Marie.

Marie is my middle name (and I love it, but it has family meaning). I think if you used Marie as a first name it would be unique.

I like Mary the best.  I worked with  a Marie a few years ago, and she was a terrible person, so that version is tainted for me.

I really love Mary.  If DH didn't have a  wicked former step-mother with the name I would have it on our list.  I love it as a double name or a combination name (Marianne). 

Maria is ok but Marie just feels so overused with all the middle names.  In addition, I find it hard to find good flow in the first name spot.
