I personally don't like the name because of a personal connection I had in elementary school with a (rude) girl named "Mary", so the name is mostly ruined for me due to the negative connotation to that schoolmate. Also, just to me, it's too old-fashioned, informal, and religious--I'm an atheist--for my taste, but I'm sure a non-religious person could use it and get away with it (my own forename is biblical).
