I would only consider Marie as a first name, honestly. It's completely overdone as a middle name, especially in my generation (90s kid); but I've only ever met one person with the first name Marie in my entire life.

Looking back at the name's U.S. popularity: for the Greatest Generation, Marie was on par with Olivia or Emma today, but even then it still didn't eclipse the (similar-sounding) juggernaut that was Mary. While Marie was initially more popular than Maria, sometime in the 1960s Maria won out and has been winning since - and Marie being more popular at all surprised me, though I suppose this depends on your ethnicity / social circle (I've actually known more Marias than Marys throughout my life, but both names are tired to my ears).
