Hmm ... it is a tough call. Honestly, I think some people might just skim over the y and still pronounce it like Mariah (but once they were corrected I think they would get it and say it right). I don't typically like y's in names because they often make them look trendy--but clearly that is not the case here; it is a completely different name, not a trendy spelling variation. I would not spell it Miriah, however, because I think most people will see the "Miri" and start to say Meer-ee-ah. Personally, I prefer Mariah because Myriah just doesn't roll off my tongue the same way.
