Mary?

[akorda]

Such a lovely, classic, soft-sounding name? Why has this not had a revival?

Beautiful name.

What's made you regret it map?

I love Mary Rose.

I regretted it as soon as we got home from registering her birth. She gets called mare a lot, I think I was worried her middle name was becoming popular so didn't choose it but it hasn't

I do really like the name Mary, but it is an old name. Both my nan and my partner's nan are called Mary. My nan was called Mary because her Irish grandmother was called Mary and the whole family is Irish. My mum, sister and neice also have Mary as a middle name so the family is full of Mary's so I dount I will ever use it.

It's the runner up on our girl list. I absolutely love it.

It is a pretty name which is probably due a revival but does seem quite religious so maybe that's putting people off.

I have a Marianne and she's often called Maryann by accident which annoys me a bit as I see them as very different names.

I love it and it's due a revival I reckon. A baby I know born recently was named Mary.

It hasn't needed a revival I'd say because it hasn't ever disappeared into obscurity. Quick checking now it's in the 200s in the name charts, and that's pretty low for Mary

Love the name of course

Mary is a fine name that I think could suit any girl of any age

It's one of those names...if I met a baby Mary, I would smile

My daughters middle name and there are quite a few a dds (catholic) school. I love it.

It's mine and DH's first choice for a daughter. We're not Irish, so maybe that's why we can go for it.

I don't think there are many Irish Marys under......fifty? I know one and she's 45. That's the youngest Mary I know.

It's my mum's name and my middle name. Have never liked it. I think the meaning of it is "bitter" which isn't particularly nice

I like it, it is a sweet, pretty, classic , solid and timeless name. I think people tend to like these sort of named (Mary/Jane/Elizabeth/Kate etc) or they don't.

I love the name Mary.

Because, as above, nearly everyone in my family is named it. Except me
