Re: What do you think of...
I guess the way you say Marie or Maria would depend on your accent. Maria...I personally say Mah-ree-ah (I trill my r's usually too).
Marie... I personally say mar-ee. It is the same as MARgaret for me. I do agree with the asian assessment though, that is likely what I would assume if I met a Mari (though, the Rowan would throw a loop in that).

I say Maria as mah-REE-ah and Marie as ma-REE, with tapped Rs but not trilled.
I know a lot of people do thing where vowel sounds go to "uh" though.I'm saying Mari like the start of Margaret too :)
