I love Morgana! One of my favourite girls' names. I'm not a big fan of Moriah, but it's an okay name. I know one whose name is spelt Mariah, but said like Moriah.

Together they're too match-y, but individually I like them - especially Morgana, it's one of my favorite names.

I like Morgana and prefer it over Morgan for a girl.
I don't care for Moriah, I don't care for how it sounds when I say it.

I prefer Morgane as a f version of Morgan, but I wouldn't use it or expect to see it used.Where I live, Moria(h) is all place-name, the HQ of a large and popular church to which thousands of pilgrims travel every Easter. Its adherents wear a star-shaped badge and are widely believed to be honest, hard-working and naive. The church is sometimes in the news because of sporadic tensions between members of its executive.

Morgana is somehow less desirable to me than Morgan. And I've never been able to figure out quite why. I want to like it, but I can't quite. That said, I'd still like to see it used more. I'd love Mo as a nickname.Moriah is not my style at all. I think of the BIblical Mount Moriah. I guess Mo could work for a nickname here too.

I love Morgana, it's fun, but I can't get myself to like Moriah. I know it's a real name but when I look at it, it just feels like Mariah with a typo and it bugs me.

Morgana is pretty, but I don't like the witchy vibe I get from it due to the Arthurian legend. Moriah is gorgeous, I love how round the O looks and I love how it adjusts the sound of the light but air-y Mariah to be ever so slightly fuller.

The witchy element is one of my favorite parts of the name. :) It's funny how two people can have different feelings towards a name even when they have the same connotation.

Separetly, I like them... together, no. Morgana is prettier than Morgan imo, and I prefer Morgan on boys anyway. Morgana is like Millicent or Mavis to me... it's somewhat dark but still cute on a child. I think the name itself is strong and uncommon, plus is sounds pretty. It also matches lots of other names, so it seems versatile.
Moriah is super-pretty. I like both this and Mariah. Though I find Mariah more appealing to the eye... Moriah is lovlier to say and looks bolder when written. I like the meaning and history of this name and I don't hear it that often (though I do know a few). Of the two - I like Moriah better just on soft sounds and girliness, but I do like them both as names.

I love Mariah because it makes me think of a Jane Austen character, but I hate that its always associated with Mariah Carey, which in the past wouldn't have been bad but now it seems it taints the name a bit.

I agree.
I feel the same way about Whitney.

I really love mythology, so Morgana is great in my book. It is the punchier version of Morgan. Moriah is just so-so to me. Not awful, but not striking.
