American Italian

(mar ee o) like Mars or March is a popular pronouciation across the country with the exception of New York State. In New York State it is generally pronounced (maa rio) like map or match. However the (mar ee o) pronounciation is gaining in popularity in New York State, especially among young people. This may be due to the pop culture phenomonon, the Nintendo Game Super Mario Bros. As a Mario, I have changed the way that I pronounce my name to reflect the Mars or March sound.
