[Opinions] Re: Mary
I suspect a lot of people who are having children now, or will be in the next few years have mothers named Mary, so I suspect it's not quite in the trendy-Grandmother names stage yet. However it's a classic that's never really been out of style in 500 years. I am a 20-something year old Mary so I tend to notice other young Mary's, it's not as uncommon as people seem to think. I find a lot of authors seem to tend towards names that are currently popular rather than really common names. Except Kate, I swear every second character is called Kate.

As for Mary in Fiction...I just remembered I had to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian for class, there is a Mary in that book. She's around 25, it's not really a period piece, the book is set in 2004.
