In the US, the second syllable of the name Moran is usually accented: more-ANN (or muh-RAN). I've occasionally heard it with more of an accent on the first syllable (MO-ran), and wonder if that might be closer to Irish usage, or if it's simply a mispronunciation.

My father's mother's maiden name was something much less common but very similar: Doran. She passed way many years before I was born, and none of her family seem to have immigrated with her and her husband's family, so I don't know anyone in the States with her name. Therefore, I'm not sure which syllable she and her folks might have accented.
