What are the usable variations of Maria?

[Roundtheroundabout]

We want to use the a variation of the name Maria, but not Maria / Marie/ Miriam/ Mary. What are the useable variations of this name which are as close to Maria as possible?
I have found:
Marianna
Marissa
Marina
Marialisa
Marialina

I know there are others like
Anna-Maria
Maria-Louisa
However, I’m not keen on a hyphenated name, looking for a name that doesn’t have a hyphen in between.

I like Marianna and Marissa isn't bad either.
Marina, is where boats park
I don't think the Marialisa/ Marialina really flow correctly.
As in Marianna, would be said Mari anna. Marialisa would be said with a hyphen as in Maria - Lisa, I can't see how you'd say it other than that. I would pronounce them as two separate names I did however go to school with a Lisa Marie and I quite like that. That's what we all called her from the start of primary up, never shortened.

Marine
Mara
Molly was originally a nickname for Mary (as well as Margaret)
Maribel?

Also, I believe that traditionally in England the pronunciation of Maria was Mariah (as in Mariah Carey). Later, the European pronunciation was adopted.

Mariah may be an option?

Myra
Moira
Marnie
May
Marion

I think Marianna is the best out of all.

Maryam, Mariette

I think Maria is lovely, and also like the Mariah pronunciation.

Marianna will get the Marry-A(r)-na pronunciation, whether you want it or not, and it makes me think of Marijuana

Marialisa and Marialina are try hard

Marisa (think this is Polish) and Marita (Dutch). Marianne is easier to wear imo than Marianna.

Maria is lovely though, I know a 9yo Maria and she totally pulls it off

Mia

Mariella

I like Marissa best, but don't see what's wrong with Maria or Marie on its own.

Marisa is a lovely name, I prefer the one "s" version. Pronounced Ma-ri-za

I love Behind The Name for variations on names. Here you can see listed variants of the name and here is a 'family tree' showing where each of the variants derived from.

Marianna best of those suggested.

Mariela
Marilla

I like Marianne.

Mara
Mairi
Mair
Maris

and yes the traditional English pn of Maria is Ma-RYE-a, so that's an option with a point of difference.

Marietta

Marina, is where boats park
Bet nobody ever said that to Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark.

Marianina.

Mari is used a lot in Wales and I like it a lot.
Pronounced like the English 'marry'.

I like Marianne, as in Sense and Sensibility.

Mariah may be an option?

Yes. I presume to avoid being mistaken for the Popish Marias from the continent.

I much prefer Marianne to Marianna. Less fussy and more elegant in my opinion. However, Maria is my all time favourite girls name so I would just use that!

I know a Marisa but she doesn't pronounce it Ma - ri -Za. She pronounces it Ma-ri-Sa. It's a lovely name.

Marian / Marion
Maura
Morna
Mira
Myra
Myrna
Moira

I knew a Maree once. Pronounced. Mar ree. Not Mary.
