Help[Opinions] Re: Mariah
in reply to a message by beethoven
Except for the Mariah Carey association, I like it. And except for the trend of using crusty archaic -iah names for boys lately, which I don't like.
Mostly it reminds me of when I was a kid (pre-Carey-fame) and heard the Kingston Trio sing "They Call the Wind Mariah" (which I'd link, but it's not on youtube atm, blocked for copyright - it seems like that entire album is). It has the reverent vibe of being basically Mary, but I think it also can seem more poetic and whimsical, less pious and plain; and more vigorous than Mary and its other forms because of the long I vowel. It's one of my 3 favorite forms of Mary, along with Marion and Marie.
