I must say that the "rebellious" aspect of Mary's name was at first surprising to me, but I also felt some delight in that. The more I contemplate it, the more it makes sense to me. Mary, Mother of Jesus' story is obviously one with many aspects of social rebellion. La mere, in French, the sea, has shown up in the name of a French city, as well as in stories of Mary Magdalene's voyage to Europe after Jesus' death... Even Tori Amos has a song about this "Marys of the Sea." Thanks Jeff!
