Can you help me decide if I like this girl's name?

So we've been merrily going through this pregnancy without much thought that the product of it might need a name!

I tend to mull over names and then work out if I like it or not. Most I'll start out liking but then realise its not the name for us.

Except for one name that I can't decide if I love it or am completely not fussed.

So what do you think about... Moira?

Just general impressions if you heard it even if you wouldn't choose it would be appreciated. And is it too closely linked to the newsreader of the same name?!

Thank you!

I like it. And as for the not good for a baby- well, she'll be a baby for a year, a child for another 13 or so, and an adult for 70, so picking a name that suits a baby is a bit silly really. And that's why grown ups end up being called TrixieBelle and Woffles and Sunny. Because people forget their baby is going to grow up!

I'd be a bit worried about Mo, thought- not sure about that.

I like it, but then I like Myra too.

Well, of course the first thing that spring to mind is Moira Stewart, but there are worse people to to namesaked with.

For the above reasons, it brings to mind a studious little girl, but a nice one!

I don't like it either, sorry.

I don't like it.

Moira is a lovely old fashioned name. Many of the older names are coming back into fashion now. If you like the name then use it , but if you are not sure then use it as a middle name because a lot of people are known by their middle names.
Whatever you decide, GOOD LUCK!

I think it's a nice name as the person gets older but not so good for a baby or young child.
