It depends where you live!. In places like Spain, the name is very common!. They seem to use the name widely in connection to their faith (where the Virgin Mary is known as Maria)!.

In England, it's not so common!. You're more likely to get Mary, but even that's not a common name anymore!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
