As part of the focus group I like Mo-river as the other seems like it belongs on a license plate. However, I would suggest simplifying even more and removing the hyphen. MoRiver. Sounds like a rock band.

Ahh…the sound of moving water is music for the soul. I like “Ma-River” because it brings in a little matriarchal play. I’m about down with that patriarchal shit!

Your reasoning is solid, but the sound just isn't right for me. "Ma" is too close to "meh." "Mo" is more. Give me more river. Mo river. But it's just one guy's opinion.

I like “MoHan”. Granted, it is a jumble of the o and the a from their original place within the word, Mahoning, but I like the sound and feel of it when it is spoken. The MoHan River or just the MoHan.

idk Hillary. That requires too much thinking for me. I went with "Mo" b/c we tend to emphasize the 2nd syllable which becomes the dominant vowel in the word, so "Mo" carries the word. Plus with MoHan you still need to add "river" so now you have 3 syllables. But that's just one man's p.o.v.
