uhhhhhhhhhhhh Luna idk

Answer 10

okay, first, the middle name shouldn't end with the 'a' sound. it doesn't end up sounding right. secondly, since moira is 2 syllables (love the name, btw) the middle name shouldn't have the same amount of syllables. names that have varying syllables roll off the tongue better and create a rhythm. and since moira is such a strong name and your last name is one-syllable, i recommend using a 3-syllable middle name. finally, i'm not a fan of having the first name and the middle name have the same initial. i have a first and middle name both starting with L, and it doesnt sound well. so, i would say don't use m.

i recommend the names elizabeth or gabrielle. they are both very sweet and obviously feminine, would tone down the strong sound of moira. congratulations on your baby!

Answer 11

I love the name Moira but I think it's pronounced "Moy-Ruh". If you pronounce it "Moo-ruh" not only will ppl pronounce it wrong, kids will tease her and call her a cow. "Moo Moo".

However if you meant that it is pronounced "Mo-rah" (like Norah) that's okay but ppl will still pronounce it wrong.

I agree with the person that said don't go with Tamar. She was kinda scandolous.

It's always a good thing to consult the Bible when naming your baby after a character, a lot of the females in the Bible were prostitutes and for this reason I will never name my daughter Rahab or Jezebel.

I like:

Moira Naomi

Moira Rachel

Moira Danielle

Moira Jane

Moira Hannah

Moira Eden

Answer 12

Shiba, Michal, Miriam

Answer 13

Moira Elizabeth

God bless!

Answer 14

Well, most hebrew/biblical names end in either "ah" or "el".  Since Moira has the "ah" sound, I'd go w/ a middle name ending in "el".  

Rachel

Gabrielle

Danielle

Michelle

Ruth

Naomi

Josephine

Elizabeth

feminine versions of male bible names:

Davida

Jamie

Andi

Thomasina

Simone (sih-MOAN)
