Thinking about picking up Shazam! by Bridwell. Is it recommended? Never heard of it.
Yeah, Marvel would take issue if Mary suddenly started using Ms. Marvel, which of course is Kamala Khan's codename. But Mary Marvel would be fine - it would just be inconsistent with Billy's codename. Ms. Shazam would be fine too... only, she's not the only girl. There's still the issue of what to call the others anyway.

I love those stories, they are my All-Time CAPTAIN MARVEL stories. Beautiful art work by Don Newton. Gil Kane also draws a story.

There's a second Shazam reference on the same page:
His catchphrase is Holy Moley, and the two sorcerers there are called Holi and Moli!
