[Michael McCafferty]

Irene,

Note that Mario in the first example has a pronunciation of the name 
that reflects a tl-dialect of Nahuatl whereas the second example 
reflects a t-dialect of Nahuatl.

The name noted does not have the final -n of the term for 'star'. 
Without that /n/, the name sounds to me like "ground, earth, land' to 
me. something-tlalli.
But that's the way it goes.
