Please help me solve a riddle

Basically the below are clues to a girls name

I think it is a 4 letter name and each clue represents a letter of the name but i am unsure

Here is the clue



My 1st in motor but not in boat

My 2nd is in water and also in moat.

My 3rd sounds like a lion struggling to float

My 4th Is why do you want to know.

I would be grateful if anyone could help

Regards

John

Could it be 'Mary'? 1) 'm' or 'r' is in motor but not in boat 2) 'a' or 't' is in water and moat 3) 'r' is the sound 4) 'y' 4th is "why"; do you want to know? Just guessing Of course, statistically, the best guess for a four-letter any name is Mary, occuring almost thrice as often as the second-best guess, which is Patricia.
