Hart? Or is she on her way out?

DH and I really love the name Miranda for our baby due in October, but I'm worried that it's too much associated with Miranda Hart. What do you think? If it helps, we don't live in the UK so she isn't well known here but our families and friends are UK-based.

I just think “lovely girls name”. If you asked me to name someone well-known called Miranda, I’d probably say Miranda Hart, or Richardson, but I’d consider both positive associations - strong, successful women.

I think it’s a great name. I’d love to use it but DH isn’t as keen.

The Tempest. Not sure where that atheist came from.

Lovely name. I do think Miranda Hart but I also think atheist Tempest. Miranda Hart hasn’t been on telly for years, has she?

I think of The Tempest. But I am Very Cultured. Grin

Sorry, that's the first thing I think of too.
