Re: Maria [edited]
in reply to a message by whim
Maria is beautiful and classical. Since historically Maria has been used bountifully, it seems that in English speaking countries it is not being used as much, so I don't believe a Maria would get lost in the crowd. I know a lot more ladies named Jessica, Jennifer, Ashley and Sara than I do Maria. The only Maria that I know is partially Japanese, so her name is pronounced MAH-ree-ah. Maria Estelle and Maria Isobel are my favorites from your list. Usually, Tamsin, Blythe and Winter aren't my style but Maria Tamsin, Maria Blythe and Maria Winter work surprisingly well. Kudos for creating and pulling off such unlikely pairings.

That's a very good point, maybe I am focusing more on historical usage rather than current usage. Maria would stand out amongst the trendy names and would be comfortable with the classics. Maybe she's really as timeless as I think she is. :)And thank you, I like to pair classics or more common names with less likely middles. I thought Tamsin, Blythe, and Winter worked well with Maria. It livens her up a bit.
