        Maria is closer to Mario. So I would prefer Waria over Wary.

        And just to say it’s not just Maria in Spanish. It’s Maria in Italian, German and Portuguese. It’s also sounds like Maria in Russian (Мария) and Greek (Μαρία). Those are the ones that I know of, probably there are more languages using Maria.
