Help[Opinions] Re: Mary
in reply to a message by coffeelover
It's been falling and also out of the top 10 in the US for 50+ years and is still in the top 150. I would guess it will stay thereabouts rather than being the top 10 popularity level for a long time. Maybe it will never get back to top ten but just top 100 (30 years from now? 50?) like Maria currently, without ever leaving the top 500. Or maybe it'll turn out vaguely like Marie in the US which fell out of the top ten 100+ years ago, out of the top one hundred 60+ years ago, out of the top five hundred 20 years ago, and hasn't made a real comeback, though it coasts along still.
I don't think it's dated in the way that Brittany or Opal is/was dated. As a classic, it's boring/plain in a way, and I do know more older ones, but that's part of what'd make it cute for a baby (already imo - it seems sweet when I encounter it for younger people sort of like Jane) even if not unexpected or quirkily vintage the way Brittany or Opal seem to me.
Idk about Canada, but I think BtN's data for there stops at 100, which would make it comparable to the US even if it doesn't show as charting.
