[quote=Anonymous]There is a subset of Jews for which Mary is a common name -- I think it is Lebanese? Anyway, some Sephardic group. I knew one in LA. That said, my mother-in-law would have freaked out if we named our daughter Mary. We named her "Katherine" which she already doesn't really like, even though it is actually from the ancient Greek Hekaterine and not a New Testament biblical name. But because there was a Catholic saint named Catherine, she views it as a Christian name. [/quote]
