I get very picky over how people pronounce my name, only because people so often call me Maria. We pronounce it like so:
[M-UR-EE]
I am from an Italian family in the US, so I recommend verifying if you are from somewhere else.

I have just given up. I have changed the spelling of my name just so people will pronounce it properly. I can't understand why people, especially people under 30, can't pronounce the name Marie correctly. They either say Mary, or Maria. So I'm trying something new. When I go to a restaurant or fill out a store form or if there is a place for a nickname I tell them my name is Ma-Ree just so I can hear them call me by my correct name. Hopefully, that will work. If not it is back to the drawing board.

Very popular as a nickname for Maria and as a name in its own right among Afrikaans-speaking South Africans. They pronounce it MAH ree, with a long 'ah' sound and a short 'ee'.

In Ireland Marie is more commonly pronounced MAHR-ee, with a long 'a' so that the first syllable rhymes with car, like sianmarie said she pronounces it.

Czech pronunciation is actually more like MAH-ri-ye (shortly).
(I think Karcoolka is simply confused by the difficulcies of pronunciation key in English, considering Czech is much more phonetical than English.)

The traditional English pronunciation is MAR-ee. But this pronunciation has fallen out of use in favour of the French pronunciation in the 20th century. Marie Lloyd is a famous English music hall singer and this is how her name was pronounced.

My middle name is Marie, however (unconventionally) I pronounced it MAHR-ee, with a long 'a' so that the first syllable rhymes with car. I've always been proud of this pronunciation, as it was my great grandmother's name.

I like my middle name. It is Mar-ree, the emphasis being on the 'ree'.
