Hi I'm just wondering what people's thoughts are of this name? It has really fallen in popularity over the past few years and only 15 born last year which really surprised me. Do you think people are avoiding it due to it being associated with the comedian/ TV show? Does it sound dated? And what nicknames would work? I quite like Mira.

Beautiful name!

Never mind the comedian, it's an awful clunky name (sorry).

I really like it.

I really like it. I think Shakespeare before Miranda Hart.

My mums called Miranda - she's 50 ish - she hates it.

Most people call her Mandy instead and she's only officially known as Miranda

If you like it go for it!

It's a beautiful name. The fact that it isn't popular is a bonus! Your daughter would really stand out. Mira is lovely too.

I think it's a lovely name and in a few years nobody will have heard of Miranda Hart. Go for it! Smile
