Maria

Marie with the French pronunciation doesn't happen where I live; here, it sounds like meREE.

Maria is a family name but when choosing a mn for our daughter, we didn't think it worked well so we changed it to Mary, which is shorter and fitted better, rhythmically.

Marie as a first name would be so refreshing (here in the U.S., where it's an extremely common middle name)! I also quite like Maria.

Marie is underrated as a first name.
Marie > Maria > Mary

Maria, so I can get Marie and Mary as NNs))

Marie

Marie, Maria and then Mary.

Marie is underrated and more balanced. Maria is alright, but a bit overused nowadays. As for Mary, I don't really care for it, it sounds bland.

Mary is ok but it's a bit plain

---

Marie I like but I prefer it as a middle name

---

Maria is beautiful and it can be either a first name or a middle name

I think Marie is really cute. It feels very pert. This one is my favourite of the 3.

---

Maria is beautiful but feels too imperious to me.

---

Mary is ok, a bit plain for my liking.

Maria

Marie is a favorite of mine for sentimental reasons as well as for the fact that I just like how it sounds. Maria and Mary are tied. I like them well enough, but I probably wouldn't use either.

1 Mary - a popular name on both sides of my family so it's a sentimental choice.

---

2 Marie - sounds sweet and delicate.

---

3 Maria - I keep hearing the irritating song "Maria" from West Side Story.

I love Maria and Marie is nice too, though a bit overused for a middle name. Mary is just blah.

Maria>Marie>Mary too
