I think it's somewhat misleading to say that Mayra's usage is "English", since it was probably created in Latin America and seems to be in widespread use throughout the Spanish speaking countries of the Western hemisphere. [noted -ed]

Mayra Veronica is a Cuban-American model and singer.
In my opinion, Mayra is a lovely name. I love the sound; it's a beautiful, melodic name. I actually prefer this "Mayra" spelling to "Myra", because I can't stand the Myra Hindley associations. (I don't live in Britain but even people over here have heard of her.)
