Miranda

[msfallaway]

What do you think of this one?

Sorry not my cup of tea...

love it

really really like it
it's dd's middle name - sort of regret it not being her first name.

I like it.

Lovely name. And not overly popular at the moment, so you wouldn't end up with 4 of them in the same class.

I have one and I think it's fantastic. It's not often used at all either. I've met one other dc in 13 years! BUT some people hate it. Montsti's reaction is not at all uncommon. That doesn't bother me but for some reason it is a name people feel strongly about.

I loved this name and was considering this for DD1 but then that awful Miranda came on TV and it put me right off!

Love the name Miranda, if our son had been a daughter that's the name we had chosen. I have another daughter called Imogen though so was quite liking the idea of following the Shakespeare theme. Lot's of people pulled faces when we told them but each to their own

It's pretty. Suits a child as well as an adult. Not faddy, but very enduring instead. Won't date.

Feel like I've just written a report card.

Northernlurker - sorry wasn't meaning to offend. I don't dislike the name Miranda just not a name I would choose, but having read most of these name threads I know what the reaction to my DS's name and my next baby will be - far too popular/common!

Monsti - not at all offended. Just wanted to point out to the OP that some people really don't like it

Violet - good taste! I have a Shakespearean theme too - Rosalind and Beatrice are my others.

Btw - love Beatrice!

Thank you Northernlurker, i am also a 'Northernlurker', in that i'm Northern but living down South, love your names

LOVE IT!

Like Miranda but think it has a lack of nicknames really. Randy is awful and I'm not sure what you can do with the Mir bit? Lovely name in full but not much to play with IYSWIM

Not a massive fan - prefer Matilda or Martha.

I like Miranda a lot. Though it is a bit of a 'big' name for a little girl and not the best for nicknames (Mirrie?).

Love the idea of a Shakespeare theme!

My younger two always called ours 'Mandaaaaaa' when they were learning to talk so we use that a bit and her friends call her Mandy sometimes - which I loathe!

Agree with lack of nickname but LOVE Miranda. Have not got good response when I've told people. A lot are put off by sitcom but doesn't put me off at, makes no difference. What about just Mirra for nn? Or Mirran
