Re: Maria or Marie?
in reply to a message by Elaine
I would be pleased to see either of them as a first name, and I love both of them a lot. I don't think I would think "OMG That's a middle name!" if I saw Marie as a first name, I would think "Oh, lovely!" Same with Maria. Great names. I'd use either, I'd probably take a poll in my family to choose which.
