I Love Mariah! (of corse it don't really count because it is my name) and people don't think I'm a Mariah Carey, if anything its Maria. The only thing wrong with it is it get pernonced Maria way to often. But I really like my name, its pretty, and is just right for me. Moriah, I don't like, its a mispelling! if you need another spelling theres Myriah, but people spell my name "Moriah" alot so I don't really like it.

Moriah is not a misspelling of Mariah. It is its own name. Myriah is not even a legit spelling of any name.

I know Moriah is its own name but to me it seems like a mispelling. it's just like if you name was Anne and people spelled it Ann, you probly wouldn't like it much, that was just a comment. and I think Myriah is legit, I met a Myriah, and my mom want to spell my name like that.

No, Myriah is not legit. Just because someone else has that name doesn't mean it has a history as a name. It can commonly be seen on baby naming sites that list any version of any name that was ever concocted. They may even make up a random meaning for the name. Really, it is just a neologism. It is just another recreation of the name much like people will misspell Melanie as Melluhnee.
