I wish I understood Gaelic better so I would understand why you pronounce the I harder than the A even though the A's the letter with the accent. I would have pronounced this name "Merra", which I think sounds really pretty.

I believe the 'R' is actually silent and it is pronounced "MOY-uh".
One of my teachers is named Maire, but she pronounses it "MAY-re". I've noticed that a lot of people have problems pronouncing it right (I've heard many call her "MAR-je"). I think it's very exotic and pretty, though.

This is my little sister's middle name and my mother pronounces it 'MY-ree', although it doesn't have the accent over the 'a'. She may be wrong.
