Re: Muirne / Myrna
Myrna's pretty great, but I prefer Myra for the moment...it's got a little more moxie. And Muirne is sweet, very sweet (without being too sweet!), but I still prefer Muriel! I think it's usable enough outside of Ireland, but only because it's becoming increasingly common to use un-Anglicized Irish names here, at least in some places. I've seen a little Niamh, an Aoife, an Eithne, etc....so Muirne is more than doable.

Wow, this topic was really buried under all those other threads!Myra is interesting, but I think I still prefer the sound and look of Muirne. I also like Muriel, but I prefer the similar Mariel.I don't see many un-Anglicized Irish names around here, but maybe that's because I'm on the west coast. Most of the time they are Siobhans (unfortunately considered ghetto) or little Saoirses (probably influenced by the actress).
