Re: Mariah
I really like it--the sound of the name is really nice. When I hear it, I actually don't immediately think of Mariah Carey. See, I read Ann M. Martin's Babysitters Club books voraciously in elementary school, and one of the "charges" (the girls they babysat) was a Myriah Perkins--who was, weirdly enough, supposed to be an awesome singer. So I picture her first, and then Mariah Carey, and then the band The Black Maria.Mariah Patience is my favourite of your combos. I think it's got a really nice blend of sounds. Some other ideas:Rowan Mariah
River Mariah
Mariah Scarlett
Mariah FernArray

The dogs on main street howl
`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.

I used to love the Babysitters Club, and I remember Myriah :-) I always pronounced it MYE-ree-uh in my head, and only much later did it dawn on me that it's a spelling of Mariah. Thanks for the combos, I love Rowan Mariah, River Mariah and especially Mariah Scarlett._____________________________________________________________________Elinor
