Mary? What do you think?

[kate1296]

Hi all just wondering what you think of the name Mary? I quite like it think it has a simple vintage sound to it..

Who uses Mary as another word for vagina??
It's lovely, op. Ignore the naysayers.

I love it

Mary was a common childhood name for vagina where I am too... or maybe we're in the same place.

It was lula where i grew up and now i know that lula is bobo

What about Queen Mary?
Im not Catholic and it was nearly my dd's mn

It's one of my middle names and I've never really liked it. I was actually teased at school when someone found out that Mary was my middle name.

Beautiful name

I’m ttc and I love the name Mary so much I plan to use it if we have a DD (it’s the name of a relative of DH’s side)

Simple, feminine and elegant. Not too fussy

What about Queen Mary?
Im not Catholic and it was nearly my dd's mn

Are you suggesting that "Bloody Mary" wasn't Catholic??

I like it a lot, OP, but would also wonder if you were Catholic as nowadays I think it's most commonly (but obviously not exclusively!) used by Catholic families. Don't think that matters though!

I love it. I quite like old fashioned names.

I wanted it for dds name but dh vetoed it. I love it.

What about Queen Mary?
Im not Catholic and it was nearly my dd's mn

Are you suggesting that "Bloody Mary" wasn't Catholic??

Maybe she means some of the other Queens called Mary (like the wife of George V)?

Was in my top ten list if girls names to go with our ridiculously long surname.

It's elegant and timeless.

I’d probably have a different opinion of it if it wasn’t both my Nans names, my Nan in laws name, all my Nans friends names.

But yes, refreshing on a Child!

I agree with Hocuspocus. Some people use it to refer to their vaginas, same as Fanny and Minnie. Can't be done. I was a teacher and when a girl from another country joined us sporting the name Fanny, there was almost a riot every register time. OK, Mary's isn't that bad, but it's ruined it for me.

Too religious for me.

Absolutely one of my most favourite names. So timeless yet unusual

It's a beautiful name and very underused these days. I'm considering it if I have a DD (and I'm Irish so have several relatives called Mary as first or middle name).

Although I prefer Marilyn & Maria, you could do much worse than Mary. Personally, I'd much rather be reincarnated as a Mary than a Madison/Maddison!!

The "Mary" character associations I like are: Captain Falconer from the under-rated Terrahawks; and my adorable musical Mary (with her Little Lamb) doll, complete with blonde ringlets & gorgeous pink gown.

People use this name as another world for vagina which has ruined the name for me.
really? wow that is a new one on me!

It is the name of my parents generation (1940s born) all of them were Anne or Mary.
To me growing up it was the name of many of the adult women!

I don't actually like it as it feels quite catholic. Not as much as Maria, but still.

But probably due for a revival. You do realise you will be the first and in 5 years it will be top of the baby name boards?!

Love it. Wanted it for DD, but it sounded too silly with our surname - v annoying!

My name is Mary. I had times in my teens when I thought it was an 'old lady' name and wasn't keen but that didn't last long and I love it now. I was always the only Mary in my school and it's a solid, classic name.

I also have to say I've lived 42 years with the name Mary and have never once heard it used as another name for a vagina!

I like it and I don't connect it with vagina unless the term hairy Mary means a nice big bush.

Like it a lot.
