[name_f]My[/name_f] mother’s name is [name_u]Maria[/name_u] and I want to honor her for a boy.
Maybe [name_m]Martin[/name_m]? Since it starts with [name_f]Mar[/name_f]? [name_m]Moses[/name_m] could be another one, since [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is a variant of [name_f]Mary[/name_f], which is derived from [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] was [name_m]Moses[/name_m] brother. Honestly any name that starts with Ma or just M could work.
Another one that kind of works is [name_u]Rian[/name_u]/Ryan, or [name_u]Ari[/name_u], since those letters are in [name_u]Maria[/name_u] too.

It certain languages, [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is not uncommon for a boy’s middle name, so if it were me I would stick with that. Otherwise, [name_m]Mario[/name_m] and [name_m]Marius[/name_m] are what come to mind first.

I remember correctly you once staid that you were catholic, right? In that case [name_u]Maria[/name_u] could work well as a middle name for a boy. In some countries with strong Catholic traditions boys often have [name_u]Maria[/name_u] as a middle name.
If you’re looking for a more masculine name, [name_m]Marius[/name_m] seems like a good option for you!

To my knowledge, [name_m]Marius[/name_m] and [name_m]Mario[/name_m] are considered the masculine forms of [name_u]Maria[/name_u]. I think [name_m]Mario[/name_m] has probably been ruined by the video games, but I like [name_m]Marius[/name_m].
