Her sister, Anita
Maria had no nickname. It was Anita that had the hundred names. Actually, Maria had a pet name given to her by her father. He calls her Maruca during the balcony scene.
Anita lies about Maria's death there wasn't anyone called Mary
She dies in the Broadway version because she is shot by Diesel when leaving the candy store after telling the Jets Maria is dead. However in the movie version she lives. Having her live is more accurate to the original Romeo and Juliet, in which the nurse (the character Anita is based on) does not die. The reason they did not have Maria die, though, was because it seemed like too much death, so having Anita die doesn't make much sense with that, but maybe that's why she doesn't die in the movie.

Anita, who was also Bernardos girlfriend
In West Side Story Anita tells Maria that Tony is bad 'A Boy Like That' because he killed Bernardo, but Maria retorts with 'I Have A Love' where Maria tells Anita in song that Tony is her love, right or wrong. At the end they agree on what love is, and they harmonize with the lyrics 'Your Love Is Your Love'
