Thoughts on this name?
Gross? Old fashioned? Definite no-no? Or due a comeback?
Thanks!

I love it and I've been trying to convince dh to name our baby Maria June if this ones a girl

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 17/04/2016 22:10

Definitely due a come back. I wish I'd have thought of it for DD. I couldn't even use it for a subsequent DD as dd's name is Molly, so would both be variations of Mary.

Lovely name.

Sophronia · 17/04/2016 21:41

It's a beautiful name

nectarini1983 · 17/04/2016 20:53

Really like it

isthatmytshirt · 17/04/2016 20:51

Love it. The youngest one I know is early thirties, but I think it's beautiful for little girls :)

(and now a little sad I didn't have it on our list when we were naming our daughter last year Wink )

Traditional Catholic name. I think of West Side Story rather than The Sound of Music.

FluffyPickleMonster · 17/04/2016 20:35

I like it and think it's due a comeback. It's pretty, I like Marie too.

"Mariaaaa, you gotta see her"Grin

Fab name, although I'm going to say that as it's my middle name and my 17 yo dd's :)

If it makes you feel better, my dd loves her middle name and always uses it e.g. When filling forms out .

A bit old-fashioned, but OK.

5BlueHydrangea · 17/04/2016 19:21

I really like it. Dd2 has it as a middle name, it was high on our list for a first name.

Dd1 has a friend called Maria - now early twenties, is often called Mia.

FoxesSitOnBoxes · 17/04/2016 19:14

Lovely!

AlleyCatandRastaMouse · 17/04/2016 19:10

It's lovely! I have a good friend called Maria. She does get people singing ‘How do you solve a problem like Maria?' sung at her occasionally (all of them thinking that they are the first to think of it!) but it's still a great name.

areyoubeingserviced · 17/04/2016 18:59

Due a comeback.
Lovely name
