The plural of Mary is usually not Maries – Henry Nov 09 '20 at 02:45

Does this answer your question? "Nikki's and Alice's X" vs. "Nikki and Alice's X" – Xanne Nov 09 '20 at 03:05
Anyway, Mary doesn't need to be plural (unless there are two girls with the same name). – Kate Bunting Nov 09 '20 at 08:42
Do Jane and Mary (or Marie, or the several Maries) have one room each or several rooms which they both, or all, occupy? The same applies to Peter and Helen, are they a couple with multiple flats (or perhaps partners in a property rental business) or do they have one flat each? – BoldBen Nov 09 '20 at 09:23
