I like it.
It's a lot nicer than Marion, Marianne and Marianna

I like it. I think it means wished for child.

Love it

It’s a beautiful name.
I wish I’d called my daughter Miriam as a second name. It conjures up something light and pretty in my mind.
Go for it.

It’s really nice! It’s quite a Jewish / Hebrew name so just might be a bit odd if you don’t have that heritage.

Miriam is a nice name and much better then some of the others that have been mentioned. I have known two one a child and the other ~40s. Go for it

It’s ok, like Marion

I like Marianne and Maryam much better

I like Miriam and think Miri is a cute nickname.

It's lovely and the Hebrew version of Mary. It's a name that doesn't date and suits both a child and an adult.

Love it as it puts me in mind of Miriam Margoyles who I think is fabulous - but not everyone's cup of tea.

I like it.
