[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mary was a common Jewish name for a long time. I have two great aunts with that name. It was often changed to Miriam or Malka.[/quote] +1 I get up in the middle east and so many people of non Christian religions have variations of the Mary name. [/quote] This. It is used by many devout Muslims. FWIW, I’m a lifelong practicing Catholic in my 40s. I only know one Christian girl named Mary. Many, many with the names of saints and biblical figures, including Salome (popular in the Republic of Georgia I’m told), but only one Mary under 30. The same way that I wouldn’t assume a Maya was Jewish, I think Mary (or variants) are ok for non-Christian girls. [/quote]
