Longer versions of 'Mary'?

**DaintreeDream** · June 22nd, 2011, 10:20 AM

DH and I have always loved the name Mary however both our girls have long names and Mary just seems to sound a little short with them. So any suggestions to longer versions of Mary would be appreciated, I am sure I have thought of them all (and dislike them) but I am hoping there is a lovely one out there that I have missed!

Hmmm, no nothing so far! I love Martha but I don't think it is Mary enough, I would just end up calling her Martha I think.

To much like DD2's name Mel

Thats why Pollyanna is ruled out

I have a family friend who, whilst I was growing up, I thought was "Marilena", but it is Maria Elena. Variations on this misunderstanding could be Marielena or Marialena.
