Hi, Myrna, I agree with the other opinions posted - I've always thought of Marjorie, Margery, etc., as full names - not nicknames. One reason may be that I've never heard a name for which it would be a likely nickname. Pat Cross Davis - Texas patdmom@aol.com Burke, Callis, Carrothers, Cross, Martin, Paul, Warren, Wolfe, Word

I agree, but my problem is I have been looking for a Mattie Martin for years, and just found her name on a death certificate as mother, as Marjorie... actually, spelled Margorie, possibly misspelled.
