I makes me angry that "Maria"'s are stereotypically Hispanic women, when in fact this name has run in my (Irish) family for generations. I prefer it over the boring
Mary and overused
Marie, and am generally suprised that there are very few white, black and asian women bearing this name. The
Bronte sisters' mother was
Maria, as was one of the girl's herself, who died relatively young.
I love
Maria. As for the combos, the only names I generally love are
Maria and
Claudia (despite it's meaning), but I like
Juniper,
Pearl,
Victoria and
June.

I like these combos, and I hope you do too.
