Most people familiar with Façade are aware of Trip and Grace's reaction to the word "Melon." However, they have similar reactions to other words. As seen in this video, Trip is very displeased by the mere mention of the name "Maria."

In this particular case, it is due to the potential story scenario where Trip had cheated on Grace with this client Maria. Because of this, "Maria" is tagged as a controversial/bad word - just like "Melon." Trip does not accept any words of this type during the intro sequence, so he will close the door on the player. As this works every time, it appears the word is tagged this way regardless of which story scenario is picked.
