I think if one wanted to use the '
Maire' spelling I would go with
Moira instead in the States, just because I have the sneaking suspicion that
Maire would be butchered while attempting to be pronounced most of the time. It's beautiful but as some of the other posters have stated, it would probably get confused with
Marie unfortunately. On the upside though, I don't think
Moira would be as much trouble.
Side note-- The
Maire spelling would be great in the middle name slot! I feel that middle names are for being more adventurous anyways, seeing as it won't be used everyday. =)
