Mari's is actually St. Eugenia, which is her middle name. The nuns at the orphanage named her for the saint of the day on which the doctor guessed she was born, Decmeber 24th (she arrived at the orphanage on December 26th). Said correctly with the Spanish pronunciation, Maria Eugenia is a gorgeous name. It doesn't sound nearly as nice with an English pronunciation.
