I've heard people pronounce Moira like Maura. But I prefer, MOY-Rah. How does everyone else pronounce it?

Thanks everyone. I was having an arguement with someone that insisted that it was pronounced the same as Maura.

Moira = MOY-rah; Maura = MOR-ah or MAWR-ah.

Ditto to Moy-ruh & Mor-uh (Mahr-uh is Mara, to me) -
