Old-time Hollywood star Tyrone Power notwithstanding, in the US Tyrone is consideed a black name, to the point of bordering on an offensive cliche. Also extremely dated to the sixties and seventies.
Mary is just Mary. It's a bit less anonymous than Jane only because you so often see it used in combination with other names like in Mary Lee, Mary Beth, Mary Kay, Mary Jane, Mary Jo, Mary Ellen, etc.
