Re: Maria
in reply to a message by KK
I think it’s a terrible name to inflict upon a child. Mary, Marie, and Marina are all gorgeous usable names, while Maria is unusable.

Huh? Why is it unusable?
It’s too awkwardly religious for my taste.

Maria is the normal version of Mary in a lot of languages, there’s zero reason for it to be awkwardly religious and not Mary or Marie. It’s also extremely common so by default not « unusable. »
Yes, but the Roman form is the one I find the most unusable. Also, I do truly find Maria ugly. The other variants aren’t that way for me.
