ArchivesHow would you spell this name?
MAR-ee-ya or MAR-ee-ia (NOT Maria)
Basically, I have been looking for this name, and I am not sure if it exists. Every variation I try always ends up being some form of Maria in a different language.
Instead of Ma-REE-ah (or however else you pronounce Maria, with the emphasis on the middle part) I am looking for a version that has the emphasis on the beginning vowel, making it longer.
So instead of Ma-REE-a you would get MAR-ee-ya, where the A in MAR is kind of elongated?
It's kinda hard to explain, but whenever I see the name Annamaria, for example, I always pronounce it in my head as Anna-MAR-ee-ya because I think it sounds prettier, even though I know it's wrong. The same goes for Stellamaria, or any similar names.
Is this a name that already exists? If not, how would it be spelled in order to ensure it is pronounced correctly rather than "Maria"? I'm just looking for a simpler way to convey this pronunciation.
