I think the name is plain, but thats not necessarily bad. It's definetly not too old-fashioned to use now. I can picture a teenager named Mary, but not a little girl. I think Mary would best be paired with a vibrant middle name or Mary being used as a double name.
ie not Mary Elizabeth but rather...
Mary Bronwen
Mary Vivienne
Mary Calista
Mary Florence

or as a double name:
Mary Louise _middlename_
Mary Mackenzie (my favourite growing up)_middlename_
Mary Claire _middlename_
Mary Kate _middlename_

but thats all just my opinion.
