[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the name Maren (pronounced Mehr-en). Mara means bitter in Hebrew. [/quote] Yes, Mara has negative connotations across cultures. That’s hard to escape. I’m a “Moira/Maura” and like it. I pronounce my name “Mor-ah”. It’s a diminutive of Mary, so in the vein of Maureen and Margaret if you are going for an Irish Catholic vibe. It’s an uncommon name, so she’ll likely never be on a team or in a class with another Moira/Maura. That said, it’s common enough that most people have heard it before. The name can also be shortened to “Mo” or “Momo” for a nickname. If you end up circling back to the original name choices, I personally love the name Margaret.[/quote]
