Those names are all WAY too similar to use for siblings, imo. They sound so similar, that I would think it'd get confusing. Matchy names aren't really my style. Also, I would have spelled them the traditional ways: Marissa, Mariah. Morria looks like More-ree-uh. They're all cute names, though!
Anyway, here are some names you might like...
Girls: - Miranda - Moira (though this sounds too much like Morria) - Maire (this is Celtic, and is pronounced My-ra) - Miriam - Marilyn - Marion - Marjorie - Marcella - Maura - Maureen - Meredith - Morag (this is Celtic, and is pronounced like "Morrick" or "Morreck") - Morgan - Morwenna (Welsh origins) - Muriel - Myrtle
Boys: - Marcus - Marlon (this one isn't really my style, just because it sounds like "Marlin," though I do like Marlon Brando) - Marshall - Martin/Marten - Marvin - Matthew - Mordecai - Morgan - Mortimer - Myron
To be honest, such matchy names aren't really my style (so I'd be hard pressed to come up with many others that might appeal, KWIM?), but Morrigan is a properly-spelled name with a long history and seems an obvious choice that follows the Morri- pattern you have without being any more matchy than necessary. I haven't seen it suggested yet (though I may have missed it), so thought it worth mentioning.
Ah, forget the naysayers. You've started the trend, it would be silly to end it now and it's fun. Sometimes we get too focused on the first 18-20 years of our kids' lives -- they'll live apart from each other MUCH longer than they'll live WITH each other, KWIM? You're obviously already willing to deal with the occasional confusing moments ("who did she call?").
I *think* it will be difficult to find many more Morri- names?? But there are a few Mor- names still out there. :)
Morgan Maura (can you fudge on the spelling a bit? I don't care for "Morra") Morrill Moralie Morralise Morceaux Morcel Mordecai Mor(r)eaux Morreen (suppse it could be Morrine) Morelia Morrelle Morena Morrin Morrison/Morr Morley Morning Morro Morquio Morris Morrison Morton Morvon
"I think that if there is only one child with out the Mor, they will feel left out."
That's the same reasoning the woman with all the J-name kids uses. I think it would be more frustrating to have to spell your name out for people your whole life, but if it's your style, and your kids think it's a fun tradition, too, then that's all that really matters. :)

I would drop the Mor- thing and search for something else. That is ridiculously matchy.

I think that if there is only one child with out the Mor, they will feel left out.
