Why has this beautiful name not reappeared yet?

I love the name Mary! It's gorgeous ! I don't know any and I know a serious amount of little people!

I have a five year old Mary, wish I'd called her Elizabeth

I know a three year old Mary. Love my name.

It's my DD's middle name.

My mum (in Ireland, she's 63) has 11 different Mary's in her phone. I don't think it'll come back in its pure form but Maria might.

The 1964 Irish top 100 baby names is one of my favourite lists. See table 11 on this page: www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/er/ibn/irishbabiesnames2014/

I've noticed that it's starting to come back in Ireland recently.

It's a beautiful, classic, elegant name.

It is becoming popular again. I know a baby Kathleen also.

You need to go to Ireland and check out the babyboomers.

I love it. Love it. Did I mention that I love it?

I knew a sensible nice decent young woman at university called Mary, and it suited her. But I always imagine Mary on a purple haired young woman with amazing clothes. I think it covers all eventualities, especially if you want to become President of Ireland.

With all the Josephs.

I think it's due a comeback. It's a lovely, classic name. I suppose it might be considered a bit plain though.
