Typically accompanied by the first name of Mary.

Example:

Mary Carter Lastname
Mary Lee Lastname
Mary Stallings Lastname

I get a kick out of looking at the bid lists for Auburn, Bama, etc. because it seems that 20% of the pledge class is a Mary ___________.
Very true, and that also seems very normal to me (though the first name could also be something like Anne/Anna, Jane or even (in the case of a cousin of mine) Nancy.

I should have noted this when I was saying it seems odd for girls to go by last names. I was thinking more of the Taylor Swifts of the world.
