Well, I like the pronunciation Mariah because it it the Old English pronunciation. I don't want my daughter's name to be associated with Mariah Carey. Maybe if it was associated with a historic figure or literary character more than it would be okay, but since the first Mariah people think of is Carey then it would bother me I think.
I haven't really come up with any fantastic combos because most of the other names I like also end in the -ah sound, so it would sound a bit to rhymey to my ears to pair them. I suppose I would probably go with Evelyn Mariah or Isabel Mariah. I think I only like it in the middle name spot because that way it would get rid of a bit of the Mariah Carey association.
