Re: Mara
Between the Biblical association and the word 'mar', I've always found Mara so heavy and negative feeling. Whereas Marcella feels much more sunny and upbeat. They are very different in feel for me, so the idea of Mara as a nickname for Marcella is a bit odd. But it does 'work' technically speaking. Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'
