  • michelle
  • millie
  • mia

and best of all:

  • miriam (LOVE it)

Another one who'd think Tempest rather than SATC. Like it.

There is a risk of 'Randy' as a nickname though...

I wouldn't particulary link it with SATC, and in any case:

  1. Miranda of SATC is the most 'normal' and well-adjusted of the characters
  2. Children won't know of the show, and by the time your friend's baby is a teenager the show will probably be almost forgotten anyway.

makes me think of the tempest

It reminds me of that old film about a mermaid called Miranda.

Sex and the City is very old hat now, I don't think anyone will link the two things.

Mimi is cute.

It would never have made me automatically think of SATC. 'Carrie' would, but Miranda is common enough that I wouldn't link it with a tv character.

her surname begins with Mi- so i think she is planning to use Mimi as NN which is a very cute little girl NN no?

whats a SATC?

MrsJamin · 26/05/2009 20:39

just not a 'baby' name IMHO, for someone who's 30-50 - like Brian for a boy

reminds me more of picnic at hanging rock!
