Form of Mary I like is Maria, followed by Molly. I also love Jose Maria and Gianmaria for a boy.
I don't know anyone named Mary, but other forms I do know:

---

Anamarija -4-5, all under 10, and 1 Ana-Marija, she's 29
Maja -numerous, it was in the top 3 names in my generation
Mara -at least a dozen, one is 30, and the others are all over 60
Marian -for a Hungarian woman, early 30s
Marica -extremely common as a nickname for all Maras and Marijas I know, all ages
Marija -at least 5-6, all ages
Marijan -4-5, all over 35
Marijana -4-5, 20s and 30s
Marijo -a lot, but Mario is more common
Marina -at least 6-7, 20s and 30s
Marinko -2, mid 30s
Mario -numerous, ages 20-60
Maristela -1, mid 40s

Just to demonstrate how common Marija and it's forms are here, here's a popularity list for the past 100 years (I'd say the only name that can hold a candle to it is Ana, keeping in mind that Anamarija, Ana-Marija, Ana Marija and Marijana are all common):
