Babies are still being called Mary?
Men are more narcissistic confirmed.

Always thought this was strange. “Oh look at me, I’m so great, I’m going to name my child after myself. Go me!”
I’m on that list. Little Maximilian Noobcrusher is growing so fast 🥹
I was named after my parents because they were born before I was.
How do they know the babies are named after their father/mother? Could just be a coincidence!
Kinda funny that the two most common names that children share with their parents are a bit more “old fashioned”, maybe Mary more so than Michael, but still interesting I think
Ironically, my son hates being named after his dad but is perfectly fine with using his grandad’s name.
I am named after my Grandmother, my mother’s mother. My mother is the eldest of two girls, she was not named after her mother but her younger sister was. So myself, my auntie and my Granny all had the same name. I absolutely hated it when I was a kid, quite like it now as it’s an unusual enough name. Mostly hated it because being from Ulster i always had the prefix “wee” before mine 😏
The tradition in our family (which we broke), but I think it was a standard Irish tradition, is that the first son is named after the fathers father (me, in my case) and the second son is named after the mothers father (my younger brother). While girls just got the grandmothers names as middle names as girls names have tended to change with fashions, a lot more than boys.
I know someone who was given the Irish version of their father’s name. Seemed a nice way to do it.
I’m not surprised it’s more boys than girls. But every so often on the Mams side of reddit or other Irish messageboards, you’ll see a post from a pregnant woman stressing that her husband is named something shocking like Aloysius IXVII, they’ve just found out they’re having a boy, and now his family are putting wicked pressure on them to follow tradition.
My husband and I had modern names and our children have very traditional family names. Mary would have been our first choice for a girl if we’d had one. Lots of the older names are doing the rounds, I think it’s nice.
My wife was adamant that if our first born was a boy, he’d be named after me, but threatened divorce when I said that if it was a girl, it would be named after her. We normally understand each other, but this is still a head scratcher, after all those years.
I’ve yet to see anyone called mary under the age of 50
