love love love it.

[xdarkxseraphx.livejournal.com]

I adore it. It makes me think of Peter Pan (Wendy Angela Moira Darling!) which is pretty awesome in its own right.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Peter Pan is what inspired me! I was watching Hook today and was reminded of what a great name Moira is... I am a huge fan of all things Peter Pan, though! :)

That's the first thing I think of too! XD It's beautiful.

Hook is the greatest movie ever created

Love it, but I picture it being said with a really thick accent in my head for some reason.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_toasterhead/]

is it pronounced the same as Mora?

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

In my book, it's like Moy-ra.

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I really like it, yet for some reason it is not on my list.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm with you on this one. I love it. but at the same time its not one on my list of favorites :/

[usoccergurl.livejournal.com]

It's interesting. I don't dislike it.

When someone says Moira, I see this woman (http://www.heresmoira.com.au/aboutus.html). She presents demonstration ads ("Wow, Terry, that beetroot stain has just come right out of the white shirt with NapiSan OxyAction!") on Australian morning chat shows.

Love it.

That spelling is more common, but the Gaelic spelling is out there, too: Maire. Most people end up seeing *Marie* when it's written, though. My sister-in-law gets it all the time & has to correct people.

I like it a lot. It's the name of one of the characters in the book I'm reading currently.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I want to like it, and I really like it in theory, but I really hate the "oi" sound so I just can't like it.

[boundsilences.livejournal.com]

thats the name of a crossdressing woman in the showtime tv show The L Word.. and shes actually my favorite character.. so i like it :P but other than that show, im sure i would like it anyway

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Awesome... I haven't seen an episode of the L word in forever. But, I don't think she was on the show last time I got a chance to watch. Hmmm..

here in Italy it is used, but quite uncommon.
It's famous after a contemporary circus star, called Moira Orfei, who does numbers with horses, I think. But she's kinda old (and grotesque :P) now.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

The village next to where I used to live is called Moira, so I don't really like it!

[drowning-spirit.livejournal.com]

I really really strongly dislike it! irk! hehe as someone else said - I associate the name with the demonstration/sales person here in Australia haha

[hotmaildt.livejournal.com]

I love it, its been on my list since I was like...17. ALTHOUGH...I like the look of it better than the sound of it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_toasterhead/]

same, i don't like the "oy" sound although i like how it looks.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

hehe... I think I prefer the sound of it over the look of it!

[alluminor.livejournal.com]

I really love it. I even thought about it for my daughter's middle name.

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

pretty.
but kinda reminded me of MORIA
[from LOTR]

[duckmole86.livejournal.com]

I can't decide whether I like it or not, but it reminds me of the X-men. She was once Professor Xavier's fiance, and she later hooked up with Banshee.

I really like the alternate spelling Maire, as was suggested above.

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

i love it.
its on my girl list!

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Very common in Shetland (where I live), especially for ladies in their 30s to 50s. The "Linda" of Shetland, maybe?


Everybody here pronounces it the way it looks: MOY-ra.

[xandara.livejournal.com]

That was the name they gave our kitty at the Humane Society. We changed it just because I find it hard to pronounce Moira. Too vowel-y for me, if that makes sense?

[thiscantbesoy.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I think it is so so ugly. :(
