I really like it--the sound of the name is really nice. When I hear it, I actually don't immediately think of
Mariah Carey. See, I read
Ann M.
Martin's
Babysitters Club books voraciously in elementary school, and one of the "charges" (the girls they babysat) was a Myriah Perkins--who was, weirdly enough, supposed to be an awesome singer. So I picture her first, and then
Mariah Carey, and then the band The Black
Maria.
Mariah Patience is my favourite of your combos. I think it's got a really nice blend of sounds. Some other ideas:

The dogs on main street howl
`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.
