Re: Maria
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. »“Someone once said that it wasn’t so hard to do right; what was hard was to know what was right to do.” William X. Kienzle

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.
