Miriam

Bproud · 09/08/2013 21:24

drop Phoebe and use either as a first name

Saffyz · 09/08/2013 21:54

Miriam

SE13Mummy · 09/08/2013 22:29

Phoebe Miriam for me. Both are beautiful names.

squoosh · 09/08/2013 22:32

Miriam is a wimp.

Carmen is a vamp.

I prefer Carmen.

Onesleeptillwembley · 09/08/2013 22:35

Don't like either much. And don't think either goes with Phoebe, which, btw, is lovely.

comedaygoday · 09/08/2013 23:19

Miriam is lovely, but not convinced it goes with Phoebe.

OutragedFromLeeds · 09/08/2013 23:26

Love Phoebe, love Carmen, but not together.

Miriam is awful imo and just makes me think of this!

I think Phoebe goes better with a 3 syllable middle name though.

Phoebe Elizabeth
Phoebe Victoria
Phoebe Annabella
Phoebe Miranda

Carmen 100%

I really like Miriam - beautiful, soft and gentle sounding name.
Carmen is a bit harsh and abrasive.

Not sure on either name paired with Phoebe though, which I think demands a longer middle name.

Wildwaterfalls · 10/08/2013 16:12

I love Miriam. I'd drop Phoebe and go with Miriam instead Smile

NickyNackyNooNoo · 10/08/2013 17:47

I love Miriam too

Miriam Phoebe Carmen, perfect combo hth Wink Grin

Miriam is a super awesome name. My DD's name. I have name-changed just so I can tell you this!

My Miriam is 4 and she is funny, stroppy, imaginative, confident, cute, loud, cuddly, bossy. I love her to bits and I still love her name.

Call your DD Miriam, do it, do it, do it!

NigellasGuest · 10/08/2013 18:14

Love it; it's DD's middle name.

Danielle1588 · 10/08/2013 18:53

Carmen

Kittykatmacbill · 10/08/2013 23:20

Totally Miriam - love it. Carmen is a 'exotic dancer' name and my phone auto corrects it to Carmel...

Breezy1985 · 11/08/2013 00:01

Miriam is my sisters middle name, she's 23 now and really hates it, I actually quite like it but for some unknown reason she's embarrased by it, it's much better than Louise and Jane which me and or other sister got Smile

Laquila · 12/08/2013 09:12

Miriam is a gorgeous name and has lovely nicknames. Phoebe also very pretty and TBH I think it goes wells it's either Miriam or Carmen, but I prefer Phoebe Miriam (although both are family names for me so I'm biased!)
