moy-ruh
It's apparently the Irish form of Mary.
Forum friend of mine named her new baby daughter this. :)

I've only heard it pronounced as Moy-ruh. I think it's used a lot in the UK region. Pretty name.

Moy-ra. Actually, I've always had trouble pronouncing it.

ME TOO! I know how it's pronounced, but I don't read it that way.
