[quote=Anonymous] I have pretty much read all the replies. I am Jewish and I would not use the name as “Mary”. However, I would use a name that is very similar such as Miriam or Mariana. Even Mara and Maria are nice alternatives. The reason I would not use the name as Mary is because in this country it has a very non-Jewish connotation that I would not want to saddle my Jewish child with ( constantly having to justify and explain her name ). My parents gave me an Irish name and even today I have to explain that sometimes. This is just my take on it, and I know several Mary’s. I know several adult Mary’s and a child Mary, and my own grandmother had a form of the name. [/quote]
