Mariam and Maryam both feel like mispronunciations/spellings of Miriam to me. I guess I'm just not familiar with them in the real world. I had never heard of them before coming to BtN and still have never met one. I know they aren't mispronunciations, but that's all I hear.

That said, there is nothing inherently awful about Mariam. You may have to correct a few ignorant people like myself, but we can all stand to learn something.
