Marya (FireBird Girl) Vanished without a trace.

Marya isn't an american name as far as I know. The Philippines is very Americanized to begin with having been a US territory for half a century. They have american television and they all speak english. Maybe they were just trying to be original like some african americans by making up new names or maybe someone just mis-spellled on the birth certificate and then decided not to change it. Asian girls are not alike. Phillippine people are southeast islanders and are similiar to Indonesians, Malaysians,Thailanders,Cambodians, Viet Namese, etc. in looks but are not similiar in culture. Japanese,Chinese,Koreans are the asians that are the stereotypical oriental types. None of them are anywhere close to being as americanized as the Philippines. As far as using american names after coming here most Philippina don't need to because their name is already common to our names. Singapore was a surprise to me. They spoke mainly Chinese some English and their first names were Mary and Sue with last names like Hong and Chang.
