A family friend named her DD Mariah, as a variation to her mothers name, which is Maria.
But I still think of Mariah Carey! |

Quite like it but it really does seem to be associated with one person.

I actually really like the name and it's a shame that it's associated with Mariah Carey.
I actually prefer Moriah, though which I think was an Angel (or at least it's in my Angel book). |
