HelpMaria
I'm finding a new growing love of Maria, I've loved Mary for awhile but was never a huge fan of it's variations (I like some, just not many). Maria has just been growing on me recently, I love it with French names either as a first or middle name.
So what are your opinions of Maria? What's your favorite Mary name (if any)? Combo suggestions? I don't like Marie at all. I can respect it, but it's my grandmother's name, which for some people would be a good thing, but my family's relationship with my grandmother is... not great. I wouldn't want to name my daughter after her at all.
Combos:
Maria Therese (my favorite)
Maria Josephine
Maria Cecile
Maria Noelle
Maria Bernadette
Maria Eleonore / Eleonore Maria
Rosemonde Maria
Seraphine Maria
Isabelle / Isabel Maria
Catherine Maria / Maria Catherine
Rosalie Maria

I don't like Marie very much either. It's the kind of name most people put on a dump cart for middle names, along with Renee.
I love Mary, and I like Maria, if used as a German name.
Out of your combos, I only like Maria Catherine.
Personally I think that when people use Maria, they should go for a German combo (unless of course they're Hispanic or Italian). My favorite combos are...
Maria Theresa/Theresia
Maria Magdalena (this is the one I would use)
Maria Margarethe
Anna Maria
Maria Augusta
Henrike Maria
Frederike Maria
Maria Frederike
Henriette/Henrietta Maria
Maria Wilhelmina
Caroline Maria

Ah I'm Italian
But Maria is a variation used in many many more languages than those three. I don't like German names much, I think of Latin when I think of Maria actually. Part of what I like Maria is that it can be quite universal.
I like:
Maria Theresa/Theresia
Maria Magdalena (I'd use this too)
Anna Maria
Maria Augusta (Not a huge fan of Augusta. I do like Maria Augustine though)

I think Maria is a decent, classic name; not one of my favourites, though.
Of your combos I like
Maria Therese - very royal ;-) Reminds me of Maria Theresia of Austria
Maria Cecile
Maria Bernadette - that's pretty close to Maria Bernarde, the girl who had visions of Mary at Lourdes.
Maria Eleonore.
I think I prefer Maria as a first name.
So, you're looking for combo suggestions with French names?

Hmmm, it's a pity your sister is named Christine - I actually really like Maria Christine. And I like Maria Augustine as well.
Yeah, Maria Virginie is great, isn't it? ;)
I would never use it on a real child but... I kind of like the idea.
Actually, you could put the whole Holy Family into one combo:
Isa Maria Josephine ;-)
(Just kidding. It's getting late and I'm getting silly. Sorry)
