The correct prn isn't bad. I prefer it spelled Moira to save on confusion, and possible combos include Moira Caitlin, Moira Kathleen, Moira Aisling
My name is Maire and I have always prn it like Mary. When people say "what an interesting spelling" and I say it's actually prn like Moira, people always say, MOIRA????? Ech. But personally I think Moira isn't bad.

Because there's no accent over the "a" in this post, I would have looked at it and gone MARE. Which I like. I'm not crazy about the sound MOI-ra in any of its spellings. It reminds me of "moist" which is a word that absolutely grosses me out and makes me cringe.
The only useful thing I guess I have to say is make sure the accent is over the "a" so people get where the emphasis is supposed to be.
