Re: Maria / Mariah / Moriah
in reply to a message by LMS
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.
