You are working on two different levels here, and I'm not sure what Candice wanted in her post: a translation of the original (?) meaning - or Spanish forms of the names themselves.
Now Candace obviously doesn't originally mean "white", the name was influenced later by the Latin word "candidus". But Maria is the Latinate form of the Hebrew (?) Miriam.
Maybe Candice is happy with either solution …
