Maria is a very common name in south European countries, which is always accompained by another name. You see, it's very rare finding someone who's 'just' named Maria; we all have a second first name, to help distinguish between all the Maria's, and trust me, there are loads of us. Tongue out 

Oddly enough, if someone calls me 'Maria' in the street I won't look, but if someone calls me Maria Manuela or Manuela, I sure will.

I guess the same happens with Maria Grazia, right? Wink

Oh and did you know 'Grazia' means 'Grace'? Smile
