I guess it is a pretty cool name when you think about it.
My initial repsonce was oohhh noo, becuase I used to know a myra who was a complete nutcase, with no teeth, even though she wasn't that old.
She spoke with a horrible slurpy lisp too, probably due to no teeth.
But, after my own private initial shudders at the memory, I came around to the actul name itself pretty quick!!
I like "m" names. My 2nd daughter's name is maeve, (middle name ellen) and I loved it from the second I re-discovered it in a names book- which was before we even conceived her !!! (or knew that we had anyway)
we named our first little girl sinead.(middle names mary-agnes), but we mostly call her nadie.
Other nice girl names that were on our short list were
lily
daisy
mae
grace
ermm... Can't rmember any more, "maeve ellen" blew tham all out of the water!!
