I was watching the L word and there was a chick named [name]Moira[/name] and it really stood out to me. I like it do you guys? It is pronounced Moy-rah.
I know a lot of old ladies with the name so I see it as an old lady name! And not in a cool way yet lol. Maybe in another ten years I’d be ready for it to come back?
[name]Moira[/name] is lovely - stong but feminine and to me suits an independent fiery woman (maybe an Irish one with flaming red hair!).
I agree! I like [name]Moira[/name] a lot.
It’s a bit old-fashioned, but if that is your style, go with it.
For me, it reminds me of [name]Wendy[/name] from [name]Peter[/name] [name]Pan[/name]. Her full name was [name]Wendy[/name] [name]Moira[/name] [name]Angela[/name] Darling. That would be a sweet association…and possibly nursery theme!

I love it! A friend of mine just gave it as a middle name to her daughter [name]Alice[/name] :]
I like it a lot. I’m also a fan of [name]Maura[/name].
It reminds me of this novel by [name]Iris[/name] Murdoch (The [name]Green[/name] [name]Knight[/name]), where there are three sisters: [name]Alethia[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], and [name]Moira[/name]—who go by [name]Aleph[/name], Sefton, and Moy, respectively.
