WDYT of Myra?

WDYT of Myra? It's really growing on me, as has the ever-popular Mary. (I'm in the United States so I'm not worried about connections to the Moors Murderers.)

Also, WDYT of the sibset Myra, Ellen and Arthur?

Other sibling or middle name suggestions would be appreciated!

I love the name Myra, but I don't think that it goes very well in the sibset. Myra seems to be rare and odd, while Ellen is common and simple, and Arthur is classic and simple. Something just doesn't sit well.

Somehow, I don't like Myra. Prefer Myrna, and much prefer Moira. Like Arthur very much, and ellen is good.

I prefer Moira (pr. Moy-ra).

Myra is a beautiful name. It fits in decently with Ellen, but Eleanor or Eleanora / Elenora would be a better fit with Myra. Arthur doesn't seem to fit in. I think that Ellen and Arthur sound great together though.

I really love Myra, it has a funky classic feel to it. I also think it makes a good sibset with Arthur, but not Ellen. Ellen seems more modern, a lot less funky, and it just looks and sounds like somebody cut off the "H" in Helen.

I like Myra. I think Authur goes pretty well with it but I'm not sure on Ellen.

I like Arthur. It's my hubbie's MN, and we're using it for a MN for our first son. It's nice.

Myra has a weird association for me. And Ellen makes me think of Ellen Degeneres. But they fit together as a sibset.
