Miriava
My husband and I are looking to join a new church. they sent us a letter and somehow I misspelled my daughter's name as Miriava. I think it's kind of a pretty name. that's about it? Obviously I couldn't use it but I wanted to see if other people think it's usable

Readable MessageSorry!The church spelled my daughter's name as Miriava. I think it's rather pretty and am wondering what others think. Do you guys think it's usable? It has a modern sound.

This is even funnier now that I know it was a church that misspelled it, like they wouldn't have known Miriam in the first place!It does have a pretty sound, I'll give it that.

That's pretty funny. I do like Miriava though! I was looking at Marzena earlier this week and it has the same vibe as that name to me. Unusual, yet has familiar sounds and a lively spelling. I would likely never use it, but I do appreciate it.

I want to say mee-ree-ay-va, but that's pretty awkward. So now I'm trying meer-ay-va, which seems to work better. It is pretty. Sounds nice but looks odd, I think.Miriam is better. :)

It's both very pretty and also sounds like something I should talk to my doctor about to see if it's right for me.

I think it sounds beautiful. Would be perfect for a fantasy character.

Yes, good idea!

I'm saying "meer-ee-AY-vuh" and I think the sound is quite pretty. If I met one, I'd assume it's a mash-up of Miriam and Ava, perhaps for the purposes of honoring.

That's cute. Kind of sounds like the name of a medication, but still has a pretty sound.

When you see it, you have to think a moment how to say it. But it's pretty. Perhaps spelled Miri-Ava.

Ooh, I like it. It's very pretty. I agree that it would be perfect for a fantasy character! In real life, not so much (at least as a first name).

It is pretty, and it sounds surprisingly convincing! Well done to your subconscious mind. Perhaps you could suggest it one day for a possible future niece?

That would make family events even more fun. :-) On my side we have a Mira and a Miriam, on my husband's we have a Mary and a Miriam. Throwing in a Miriava would be too much - it would be like at my daughter's baptism when Mira, Mary, Miriam and a cat named Moya were all in the room together.

Moya is brilliant for a cat!

Would it be Mee-ree-ay-vah or Mee-ree-ah-vah? I think it's definitely usable. I don't know that I like it, but it's not super off the wall. Pleasing sounds and maybe if it had a history and background it would catch my interest better.
