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?

Uhm, if you are looking for French names I take it you also go with the French pronunciation? In that case I like:

Haha, no religious is completely fine with me! I'm Catholic so it's all okay with with me.

I like: (* the ones I'd actually consider using)

Maria Augustine *
Maria Bénédicte (too religious?)
Maria Charlotte
Maria Christine (Christine is actually my twin sister's name~ Would * it if it wasn't for that, though I have nothing against her)
Maria Dorothée
Maria Florence
Maria Florentine
Maria Gisèle
Maria Héloïse
Maria Isabel* / Isabelle* / Isabeau
Maria Isidora / Isadora
Maria Josiane (I have Maria Josephine down ^_^ it's fine)
Maria Léonie
Maria Odette
Maria Raphaelle *
Maria Victorine
Maria Violette
Maria Virginie (That's actually really clever)

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)
