Correct answer: Mary
GrandmaTanya
I know quite a few women named Mary but I wasn't aware of the meanings of the name. It did give me a chuckle that they like to hear their name! LOL 😁
Mari
well, I was named Maria, for Mary Magdalene, but now use Mari. When I was 7, I wanted the American Mary instead of the Russian Maria, which English - speakers tend to mispronounce. I like the description of Marys in the piece above. Yep

Went to a Catholic college. I knew a half dozen women named Mary. They used there first name and middle name together to distinguish themselves.

My name is Mary Ellen, I am named after my great greT grandmother who died with her husband and 5 of her kids in 1843. And there were usually 4 Mary's in my classrooms in catholic school. So I didn't really like my name all that much.

I’m a Marianne, I’ve been told since I was a baby that my older sister could not understand why our brother was named for our father, so she made a fuss till they named me Marianne after my mother who was named Mary Magdalene. I always wished they had just given me the exact same name as my mother. Her’s is a very beautiful name.

Queen Esther, It is a shorter length chapter of the Bible I think. Maybe that is why(?).

Think that Jesus became friends with Mary Mag. and she became a devoted follower after He saved her from a life of prostitution. Not sure, complex story of her roll-for-dough time

GrandmaTanya, I was once told by a nun that Mary Ann, or Anna was so often paired with Mary because the Virgin Mary's mother was named Anna!

GrandmaTanya,
I never knew one person named Mary all through school from kindergarten through high school

Do women called Mary really believe that they are as described above? Sounds like a bunch of baloney!

Mary
MeemawSauce5457, that was my name for 41 years. I hated it so much I changed it. I got tired of being teased. Now I am changing it back because I can say my lambs name is Jesus.

Bryndal, in the 40s they couldn't have had 100 yrs of data, so consider the time period over which the question is based.

Tina, This does seem to be a good game to help learn and is helpful because you can never know too much.
Bryndal
the year is incorrect. Mary went to #2 in the late 40s,

GrandmaTanya,
but it was Mary, Mary, plain as any name can be. But in society, proprietary would say Marie.
