If this LO is a girl, I am contemplating a Mary double first name. It would honor my grandma (whose mn was Mary) and DH's grandma (who had a Mary double first name).
Would you please share your favorite Mary double names? (If it matters, DS is Jacob and DD is Amelia.)
I love Mary double names! I wish DH would agree to another double name.
My favorites are
Mary Claire
Mary Nell this is a family name for us
Mary Grace
Mary Kate
Mary Elliot
I also like family surnames paired with Mary. On our list, I have:
Mary Crawford
Mary Tucker
My daughter is Mary Jane... and we love it! We named her after my late MIL... and I was unsure about it. In fact I tried to talk my husband into Mary Claire, Mary Kate, and Meredith Jane or Maren Jane. But he insisted... and now I love it! Lots of positive feedback.
Best friends and sisters... 24 months and 16 months
Mary Jo & Mary Jane -- as a heads up all of these that I know go by MJ.
Mary Elle
Mary Laurena
I really like Mary Kate, although it reminds me of the olsen twins, and right now I'm leery about any "royal" names. I have a huge suspicion kate/Katherine/Elizabeth/pippa are all going to be HUGE trend names, plus we have yet to know what the royal baby's name is going to be, but I bet it trends too.

I absolutely adore Mary double names. My two favorites are probably Mary Eleanor ( called Mary Nell) and Mary Winslow. Both are family names for us.

Mary Elizabeth (called Mary Beth, Mary Lib, or Mary Liza)
Mary Winstead (Mary Win)
Mary Stuart
Mary Katherine (Mary Kate)
Mary Brent
Mary Ellis

I personally really like the combo of Mary with a family surname. Very Southern.
