Straigth from the source! Congratulations man! May you get some sleep in the next 8 years.
Quote :
Mara is name for both boys and girls, pronounced (MAH rah). Mara is a name that appears in many mythologies.
A Hebrew name meaning "bitter, bitterness", Mara is one with the Biblical figure of Naomi. She changed her name from Naomi (pleasant) to Mara after she suffered the deaths of her husband and her two sons (see Book of Ruth).
Mara is also a Hungarian variant of Maria.
In Latvian mythology, Mara is the highest-ranking goddess. In Germanic but particularly Scandinavian folklore, a mara or mare is a kind of malignant female wraith believed to cause nightmares. "Mara" is the Old Norse, Swedish and Icelandic name, "mare" is Norwegian and Danish. In Belarusian mythology, "Mara" or "Marena" is the god of darkness and death.
Mara is a Sanskrit and Pali word meaning death-bringing or the destroying (from the verbal root mri to die), but also thus associated to humans and the "mortal world". He or She is a Hindu spirit of temptation, sometimes coined as the god of death; and also a "demon" of the Buddhist cosmology, the personification of Temptation. Mara is a unisex given name among Hindus.

YES! I was already looking forward to one of Mord's announcement posts, hehe. That's why I sent him a PM instead of posting directly.
Cool, I had no idea about the dark wraith thing. Neat... We just liked the named and figured if it's deviated from 'Maria' you can't go wrong, really. Sure it may not be the most uplifting of meanings, but there's a place for every emotion in life, I feel.
I just kinda went with 'mare', which is of course Latin for 'sea'. That and of course... Mara Jade!
Several of my friends, including Prius, have already congratulated me with this victory for nerds everywhere. And I think my wife secretly likes my nerdy part.
Nahhh all rubbish. We liked the sound of the name, it's uncommon and it's cool for babies, kids, teens and, adults and even grannies.
Now, without further ado I will fulfill my DS duty and provide... pics!
Not even a day old:
Comfy with daddy:
And finally at home, today:
