HelpRe: Mary
in reply to a message by Paul B.
Hmm... Yes and no.
I agree that Mary is seen a lot less on both fictional and real people who are young if it isn't set early/pre-20th century.
For my generations (late teens / early 20's) and probably the one above me, Mary is much more common as a middle name, in fact it is my own middle name.
It's my mother's middle name and my paternal nan's middle name so it has always been on the cards for a middle name for a future daughter of mine, however lately I've been thinking about the possibility of it as a first name.
I love Mary now, whereas as a child I don't think I appreciated it and thought of it as "old".
I reckon Mary will role back around, but probably with a trendy second name, something like: Mary-Rose, Mary-Fay etc.
My constantly changing PNL:
