I never knew that they did a cover of Ricky Nelson's Hello Mary Lou.
I know Ike and Tina Turner did a cover of Creedence's Proud Mary:

I've gone back a few pages and I can't find that picture of Ted going so this will have to do instead.

This is evil. You are pure evil. I do know Emily was the most popular girls name but that's about it.
Well speaking as a Mary I feel like I should be uniquely qualified to answer this question. However, like I said yesterday, I know ****-all about babies.
But I do know that the name has fallen out of favour with the public in recent times which is fine by me. I hate my name. Better than the alternative though, which for my parents was Maud. *shudder* The only Mary's these days will be named after mothers and grandmothers by proper traditionalists. Most other people these days call their kids Peach or Saytyre or Mayree or some other bull**** like that.
Ooooh. Not so many (famous last words) but I'm thinking "Mary" has really gone out of fashion. In my wife's day a third of her class were Marys. Which gets us totally nowhere.
I'm familiar with that baby name checker from the CSO. I remember looking up Marys and Johns etc on it last year or the year before and was surprised that there were as many as there were on it. My transition years knocked great craic out of it seeing the trends for names. Also disappointed that my name hasn't appeared since 2010, I'm going extinct. Also amused to track the careers of Kylie Minogue, Beyonce and various Kardashians on it.
Afternoon, well I would say that name is less common than it used to be, it is all Riannah and lady gaga now.
Do people even name their children Mary anymore? Thought it was all Apple , Banana , Moon Rider etc these days :pac:
Who knows I surrender and go with yesterdays answer. Do variations like Muire count? Head fried. Congrats I am a wreck for Christmas.
Another one that I have no idea, other that the name Mary is very popular in Ireland.
I don't think it is as popular a name as it used to be.
Hmmm. It's probably considered quite an old-fashioned name these days and even when I was a child many years ago I don't remember any kids at school with the name. It could be popular enough with some of our non-Irish born community though. I'm overthinking so I'll just gamble on a low number and go with my birthday again...
I've been a bit pre-occupied the past few days, so I blame that for my poor performance... but I don't have an excuse for the previous two weeks, so I obviously just suck at this. As for today, I dunno, is Mary a popular name anymore, I feel like it isn't, very tempting to go for a single digit, as I'd say there are more Rihannas than Marys... Don't think I know of anyone under thirty named Mary, and can only think of a couple of people in their thirties with the name. Upwards of forty and it starts to feel more popular again, a lot (and I mean a lot) of my friends mother's are named Mary, but they're all in their late fifties or older, so definitely its gone out of fashion. Máire or Marie would still be pretty popular, but not a standard old school Mary I don't think. It'll swing back around sooner or later, but for now I'm going low... I'm gonna regret this I'm sure...
60,000 babies. So roughly 30,000 girls. Mary's nowhere near as popular as it used to be, unless there's been a trend for 'old woman' names to come back into fashion. If 1% of the girls were called Mary that would give me 300....and that still seems like a lot, considering how many different names there are out there.
60000, 30000 girls, gonna say less than 1% where called mary, 300, as I don't think it is popular at the moment...
So, my basic maths are: half the babies are girls - 30000. and 1 in 6 have the name Mary...
This was on the radioyesterday morning...
Had this in a quiz at the start of lockdown, can't remember now...
My middle name is Mary and I’m not a bloke!
Mary Mary quite contrary
Feck this sheepish show!
So happy I was close to the actual answer yesterday even if I didn't get full marks. That'll do my for the whole competition really. For this one I'm guessing around 30,000 are girls (assuming no or very very few boys are called Mary), and Mary is probably in the top 30 names
Tough one this, Mary is popular but is it as common as it would have been 10 or 20 years ago. You also have to consider the dropoff between most frequent names and everyone else
60,000 births a year, so it's between 1 and 30,000 then...
This is interesting. I know my pal has had 2 babies in the last couple of years and gone a bit old fashioned with names due to naming them after parents etc. so it maybe higher than I'd think which is around 10
This is very hard. I am basing my answer on half of the babies being girls, maybe 1% of the persuasion that might prefer old fashioned names. Divide that between Mary, Kathleen, Bridget, Bernadette, Eileen and Maureen...
60000 babies and I havent heard of one called Mary in recent years
I was trying to think when the last time I heard of a baby being called Mary and I couldn't think of any in the last 10 years but presumably there are some. I don't think it's in the top 10
I just don't know!!!!:( I'm gonna halve yesterday's sh1tshow of an answer
Ummmm....... feck, these are getting harder by the day...... Going on the basis that I know literally nobody under about 55 who's called Mary, I'm going low for this....0 -
