When not to replace "maries"
Keep "maries" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.
If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.
Replacement workflow
1. Preserve meaning
Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "maries" intact in the sentence you are editing.
2. Tune tone
Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.
3. Re-read context
Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.
Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.
Final fit check
After choosing a replacement for "maries", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.
If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "maries" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

Marie who? A number of suggestions have been proposed for the identity of this wonderful twelfth-century poet. Marie, Abbess of Shaftesbury, the illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey Plantagenet and half-sister to Henry II, King of England, is a plausible candidate, but Marie, Abbess of Reading, Marie I of Boulogne, Marie, Abbess of Barking, and Marie de Meulan, wife of Hugh Talbot, are all possibilities. There were a lot of Maries, after all, but only a few could read and write in English, Latin, and Anglo-Norman French.

I here join the other Mary with Mary Magdalene; for tho’ I think it is pretty plain from St John, that ſhe alone brought this Account; yet it is remarkable that in her Narration ſhe ſays, We know not where they have laid him, ſpeaking, as it were, in the Name of the other Mary and her own; and doubtleſs ſhe did not omit to acquaint them that the other Mary came with her to the Sepulchre; ſo that this Report, tho’ made by Mary Magdalene alone, may fairly be taken for the joint Report of the two Maries, and was probably ſtiled ſo by Peter and John, and therefore repreſented as ſuch by St. Luke in the Paſſage before us.
