With names like we're talking about, though, they don't go by "Mary," they go by "Mary _______." So, to go with one of KSUViolet's examples, Mary Carter Lastname would be called Mary Carter by family and friends. You still do find just plain old Marys here and there, but Mary ______ is probably more common.
