I love it and the form Mariamna too. I think it's best as a middle name though.

I really like this name, but not in English-speaking countries...

...as I think it would be a bit of a problem there, you know, pronouncing the name correctly. You wouldn't do the child a favour with the name. I think, many people would misread it and say Marianne and so on.
I really like the name, though, if pronounced correctly (like you've said). I think it's pretty and not so common, neither in Germany nor anywhere else, I think (hm, maybe in Israel or so, I don't know^^).

When I saw it written in the subject line I thought it said Marianne. Way too much potential for confusion!

I disagree with the others. I realy like it, but then I'm a big fan of Greek names and forms of Mary. I prefer it prn. mah-ree-AHM-nee.

As the others have said, this is a pretty awkward name. It just looks awkward, like a typo in fact.
I like the sound of it (kind of like Ariadne which I like). However, I wouldn't use because it seems so awkward and difficult.
