There is a Jane Austen book with the name Maria, however it is pronounced as Mariah. Obviously, nowadays it would be impossible to get people to pronounce Maria that way. My problem is that with using Mariah it would tend to look like I am a fangirl of Mariah Carey, as that is what people automatically think of the name.

Do you think Moriah could be effectively used to stave off the Mariah Carey comments or would it still garner the type of attention I don't want?
