Comment left Aug 10, 2008: "It's my name and I got tired of the cheesy serenades by the time I was nine. I think it's overused too, but not in the U.S. right now." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 16, 2008: "My name is Maria.. and yeah its okay sometimes.. but it gets REALLY annoying when your in a public place.. and someone says "Maria" your head turns AUTOMATICALLY... but rarely its you being called lol. I go by Ria.. (said like Re-uh) because i like it better. XD" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 03, 2008: "It is my name and I hate it. Old fashioned, and made ridiculous by The Sound of Music. I insist on being called Marie, which is a little better." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 13, 2008: "Sorry MARIA is outdated. It's OLDFASHIONED. Not CURRENT. The image I get is a fat old lady stirring something in a pot. And this is a family name. So yes I am insulting family." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 10, 2008: "My name is Maria, and I think it is such a fabulous name. I love all the wonderful comments and compliments I get on my name. I love the fact that my husband thinks my name is so beautiful, and sometimes teases me with the song from the Sound of Music.....What Do You Do With a Problem Like Maria! I love the way it sounds and have never wanted any other name but Maria. I love the way it sounds in the song, Ava Maria. It's just a cool name!!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 10, 2008: "Maria is such an awesome name and I absolutely love it because it is my name! It has such a wonderful sound to it and I constantly get so many compliments and how beautiful it sounds. I am named after my aunt who was an amazing lady. I have only met a few Marias and they have been extraordinary people. I love the fact that my name is not so common, you can't vary it at all, and most of all the fact that it is mine!!!"

The name, with exactly the same spelling and pronounciation (and a rolled 'r' in the middle), is quite popular in Italy, Greece, Southern Germany, Austria, Holland, Spain and many other countries. 'Marie' is more popular in French and North German regions. In Yugoslavia the name is spelled 'Marija' and in Hungary 'Marika'. Other variants are Mia, Ria, Mary, Mariah, Meike, Marina, Mariam, Miriam etc. and popular combinations with other names are Marian, Marianne, Mary-Anne, Mary-Rose, Mary-Lou, Annemarie and many, many others around the world."

Comment left Jan 24, 2007: "My name is Maria and I think it's a pretty good name. I don't absolutely love it and i don't hate it either. Sometimes people call me Marie or Mariah by accident. My nickname is Mia with the first a and r gone. My friends kind of just made that up but Mia Farrow's real name is Maria." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 16, 2007: "It makes me angry that some people say this is a common name because I have never met anyone named Maria before, and I just think it is a beautiful name and I plan to name my daughter Maria. BACK OFF, NERDS!!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 31, 2006: "I love my name. Growing up I really didn't like it, because there weren't any nicknames for my name and all of my friends had nicknames. But now that I am 26, I have grown to love it. I don't know many people with the name Maria, and I like like that way! I don't like when people call me Marie though..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 17, 2006: "When I was younger I wanted to change my name, but now as I'm older I love my name. People always tell me what a beautiful name it is. I was named from West Side Story (Mom and Dad loved the movie) and people always sing that to me. It is special and not heard that often." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 13, 2006: "My mom's name is Maria but I really don't like it because it has been used so much. I can show you a school full of Maria's. I like uniq names like my older sisters name is Zuhey. I just adore it!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 02, 2006: "i love my name.
it might mean bitter but i'm sure we don't all
act bitter.
MARIA TAPP" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 27, 2006: "My lil nephew could not pronounce Maria, so it came out as Mia . . .that's the closest I've come to a "nickname" derived from my real name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 18, 2005: "Maria is my daughter's name. She is now 5 and hates when people call her Marie, she is prompt to tell them her name is Maria (emphasising the 'a'). I love this name and I think it's really cool. My mother was called Marianne and my mother in law is called Maria, we had her grandmothers in mind when she was named. Maria is a cool name and I personally prefer Maria to the other alternatives such as Marie or Mary." (Report as inappropriate)
