Mirren,Murren.......

[Bluemonkeyspots]

Or any off the other spellings around these names.

Thoughts please?

We are in scotland

I wouldn't go for Murren unless you don't mind the assumption that it's a place name. It's a Swiss alpine village, where downhill skiing originated as a sport and which holds the Inferno race.

Merran or merryn?

Like Mirren and Murren. Also Mirin (the original saints name I think).
Getting more popular but people outside of Scotland won't have heard of it much ime. Very elegant.

Not keen on Mirran/Murran or any 'y' spellings but not sure why.

Muirann

Mirin, I know one here. Lovely name. That's the saints spelling

My ILs neighbours' daughter is muireann (i think...). In ireland.

I really like it but be prepared for all the comments about supporting a certain Scottish football team!

Love these names. Also love Morven.

Like Mirren. Someone in the town called their baby girl that over Xmas (I read the baby announcements for name ideas )

Ooh Peggy - Morven and Morvern also lovely, good shout!

I know a Muireann (pronounced Merrin) but people are never sure how it's pronounced.

Where I live (Spanish Basque Country) Miren is a v popular name and I love it. In the Spamish accent it's even prettier, sort of 'mee..rrrren' with the rolling r and the e pronounced fully and not just as a schwa iykwim. Have been toying with it as a name for currently cooking do but not sure how it would be pronounced in English.

My dc have 2 friends called Muirean and we know a Mirren. The Gaelic spelling of the (originally male) name is Meadhran.

If you live in the West of Scotland you'll know it's a football team in Paisley!

I think it's pretty but would be put off using it as it is in my mind a boys name!

I saw someone suggested Morven. What about Morna? (means 'beloved' in Gaelic).

My personal view is that it can be a bit "schemey" depending on where you are and I wouldn't pick it for that reason.

Morven is nicer as is Morna as suggested or Lorna maybe

Really amck? I wouldn't have thought that, interesting! I thought it was quite posh (I'm not a ned, honest!)

forget, maybe it is just me then, I only know two and they are both rougher families......and I'm not being posh-est here :o I was brought up in a really rough area in a similar type family - well maybe working class back then as opposed to long term benefit class. Bethany is a name that seems to be liked on here too and it has the same vibe for me, as I say, just based on my local experience.

Genuinely interesting though, because it shows you how different the sensibilities are. I agree on Bethany

Ha Ha....and dare I mention Caitlyn and Molly in the same vein?

Morwenna? Cornish not Scottish but nice name.

You may dare :)
