[Opinions] What do you think of this name?
I've come across the name Maral (pr. ma-RAL) years ago and I have been adoring it. The combination of usages (Mongolian, Azerbaijani and Armenian), pronunciation, spelling and most importantly, meaning, is what makes this name delightful.Regarding the meaning, Maral refers to the Caspian red deer, which is the animal below.Anyway, what do you think of Maral?

I think the association of the deer alone is a reason to like the name (I love that you added a picture!) . Beautiful animals. It’s a nice name too.
The pronunciation is too close to 'moral' and 'morale' for my liking; Marelle would please me more. But, thank you for posting the picture of that magnificent animal! He's brightened my day.
It's ok, I knew a girl her name is Marelle
Has a lot of charm. I like the sound of it.
It's cute. Is it a girls name? I would guess so, but couldn't really tell for sure. It sounds nice and the meaning is nice too. I like Fiadh for the same reason.
It is feminine.Fiadh is nice, but I prefer Fia. Other names with similar meanings I like include Ayelet, Bambi, Darby, Eilonwy, Elain, Elaphia, Enéh, Flidais, Irema, Jelena, Kaliska, Raleigh...
Lovely! I adore deer—I have a tattoo of a slumbering fawn near my clavicle and various fawn figurines/images throughout my apartment–and always get excited when I encounter names with meanings related to them.
Very elegant! It might be mispronounced in my accent, making it sound very much like "morale", but it's a beautiful sound, even so.
Gorgeous.
I like it, but I'm surprised it's not used on boys.
