HelpRe: Mara & Maura.
in reply to a message by bopperlynn
I pronounce them differently. I pronounce Mara with the first syllable having the same vowel sound as in "cat" and Maura with the first syllable sounding the same as the first syllable in "organ".
I like Mara and dislike Maura. Mara sounds fresh and crisp, while Maura sounds draggy and heavy.
Mara is my niece's name, and her middle name is Emily. Mara Emily. But that's kind of boring. She was given the middle name of Emily because Emily had been my sister's favorite name, but she decided against using it as a first name because of popularity.
