Our masculine tastes are similar!
Mary isn't objectional, I'm just sick of hearing it. From the 1880s through 1937, more than 5% of all girl babies born in the U.S. were named Mary. So... in 1900, for instance, there were 16,705 babies names Mary born, compared to 6,342 names Helen (the #2 name). In previous decades the number of Marys born was about half the 1900 number, and the #2 name had roughly half those births, if not fewer. Then, in 1921 - the highest popularity for Mary - a whopping 73,985 babies were named Mary, compared to 39,087 for #2 Dorothy (which, honestly, is still a whole lot).
To put this in further perspective: Olivia is the #1 name for baby girls in the U.S. right now, and it was used 16,573 last year. That's still too popular for me, personally, but still merely 22% of Mary's popularity in 1921.
Tens of thousands of Marys born every year, for decades... Mary needs a nice, long sleep.
