If it was
Marian or
Miriam vs
Mara it would be a more difficult choice.
Marion looks too much like a surname than a given name. I also very strongly associate
Marion with marionberries. I associate
Marian with
Robin Hood's love Maid
Marian. Also my nana
Marian who was born as
Mariana who changed her name to fit in.
I prefer
Mira to
Mara. Slightly prefer the sound and definitely prefer the meaning.
Mira is one of my favorite short names.
