Do you like it? Only problem I see is explainIng it's got a gap in it or not. Want to know if others like it. Thanks.

When I was growing up, it was what we called our vaginas. I know a child called Mary-Jane, and I have to say I do think vagina almost every time I see her.

It's a shoe. A really, really nice shoe, but still a shoe.

I have a friend called Mary-Jane. I love it. She is super cool, she does get called MJ a lot. I like Sarah-Jane and Marie-Louise too. Good luck.

What about Mary Margaret, I think this is such a beautiful name. Would have called Dd this but was vetoed. Really wish I'd used it.

Mary-Kate is gorgeous, timeless & elegant would prefer to Mary-Jane. Love Mary on it's own too, definitly overdue a comeback!

I wouldn't, It's slang for Marajuana or a shoe.

No, it means weed.

I too think of marihuana and then shoes but also of Mary-Jane (MJ) from Spider-Man. If you really love it, focus on the Spider-man connection. ??

Why not just Mary

Then as a middle name I would go for Claire

You can't call a child after a drug.

Mary is lovely. I'm with lechers, Mary-Jane is what we called our vaginas and for that reason I wouldn't use both names together.

I think it's nice, although it does have a connection to weed, and is a type of shoe, so I think that would put me off. It's a very pretty name though.
