User Comments about the name Mara
Comment left Apr 21, 2009: "My name is Marah, with an H. some of my relative pronounce it as Ma-ra (hardly), and some of them pronounced it as mah-rah. I don't really know how it's pronounced. I got this name from my first name Marinette and my second name Zarah." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 26, 2008: "My cousin here on the east coast is Marah, and they usually get it right over here, but they do tend to pronounce it incorrectly out west. I love this name I think it is beautiful and unique. When I was a baby I would call her Mah-Wah. She didn't enjoy her name as a child (who really does?) but has come a happy agreement that there wouldn't be a better name for her, and, she is one of the most caring, gentle, nurturing, kind souls I know. GO MARAH!!" (Report as inappropriate)
