User Comments about the name Maura
Comment left Oct 10, 2006: "My name is also, Maura. Since my name is so different from most, I do not get confused when I hear it being called out. They are usually looking for me. People not taking the time to learn how to pronounce or spell my name is their problem. I will continue to correct anyone who I notice says or spells it wrong. I love my name and would love to have it live on in my family...but I cannot name a child of my own after myself. Hopefully, my brother or sister will use it in the future...I have 3 siblings...and lots of time!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 02, 2006: "I pronounce my name as "Mara" even though it is spelled with a "u." People always pronounce it the same as you would pronounce Laura, and it gets tiresome correcting them. Still, i love my name because it is so original and reflects my unique personality." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 24, 2006: "I hated my name when I was a child because no one could pronounce it. Now, I value my unique name. It is nice not to be known by my first name and last inital (or nickname) at work. I feel sorry for all of the "Jenny's." I am searching for a unique name when I name my own child."

Comment left Aug 17, 2006: "Greetings, Cyber-Name Lookers! My sister's name is Maura and I think it is a lovely name. People often pronounce it wrong, either saying "Laura" or "More-uh". No, the way the Irish say it is Laura only with an M. MAR-uh. It is a pretty name once you know how to pronounce it. ;-)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 10, 2005: "To this day, people have trouble pronouncing my name - and almost everyone I have ever met since 1st grade has spelled it "Mora" - even though my name presents problems at times, I love my name, as I have only met two other people in my life with the name, so if I hear my name spoken, I'm the only one who answers!"
