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

[DoodleAlley]

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 dont like it, scottish woman in 60's, overweight, greasy hair, smells of rabbits springs to mind!!

what about Morna?

Hi all,

We have moved this to our Baby names topic now.
Please do have a look at our Talk topics

Prefer the other similar options: Maire, Maren, Morna, Mirren, Muireann, Maura, Mara.

Not keen on Moira for the reasons mentioned above to be honest, it's in there with Barbara and Janice for me (not old enough to be back, but dated).

I have to disagree. Morag is a much uglier word than Moira (sorry to any Morags reading this).
