Baby Names

WDYT of Mariah?

DH and I both love it, but worry about the Mariah Carey association.  We would go with Lynn (family name) as the mn, if that makes a difference in your opinion.  I love the two names together, but do you think she (my unconceived-yet-future-child) is going to be called Mariah Carey her entire life?

  • I did immediately think Mariah Carey when I saw your post. However, I know a Mariah IRL and  never really made that association, so who knows :)

  • I think Mariah is a nice name ( I have a friend named Mariah)  don't let the Mariah Carey thing stop you, if you want to avoid it just spell it different. My friend spells her name Myriah.
  • Well, it's my name so I love it. Mariah Carey actually helped people finally be able to pronounce it and I stopped getting called Maria all the time. The sad part about Mariah Carey is that my mom's name is Carey with that spelling also. It amuses a lot of people and definitely helps them remember who we are. No one has ever called me Mariah Carey. Sang her songs to me, yes, but never called me that.

  • There is definitely an association, but if you love the name then I would go for it.
  • I don't think so.  She's not that popular right now anyway, lol.  Plus, I met a little girl named Mariah once.  She was too cute.  I like the name.

  • I did think of Mariah Carey right away.  I did grow up with a Moriah if that makes a difference for you.

  • Eh, they might think of Mariah, but that would mostly just mean they pronounce it right. I think it's a beautiful name.
