Mara...

If it was Marian or Miriam vs Mara it would be a more difficult choice.
Marion looks too much like a surname than a given name. I also very strongly associate Marion with marionberries. I associate Marian with Robin Hood's love Maid Marian. Also my nana Marian who was born as Mariana who changed her name to fit in.
I prefer Mira to Mara. Slightly prefer the sound and definitely prefer the meaning. Mira is one of my favorite short names.
