Think we've narrowed it down- Erin or Mara?

After much umming and aaahing I think we've found names we like for dc2 who apparently is a girl.

Erin Ann L......
Or
Mara Elizabeth L.....

Any thoughts? I may go back to the drawing board but my mind is blank!

TIA :)

Not keen on Erin.

Also, not too sure about Mara. But if you want a lesser-used like it, how about Maura?

Erin hotcup

Mara I don't like either really. Is it a name?

Mara

Erin is soup.

oo I love Mara and considered it for one of mine.

Might not be popular because the biblical meaning is bitter, I think. I liked the gaelic meaning of 'sea'.

Erin is nice - never heard of Mara and so less keen on that.

Erin is lovely

I really like Erin, although there's something about Mara too.

Hmm...

I love both names but if pushed, I'd go for Mara. Very pretty name and not as commonly used (where I am anyway!)
