Any Mirandas out there that have a shortened or affectionate version of their name?

The only Miranda I know goes by Mandy. I love Miranda but dislike Mandy so would put me off using it.

pinkgirlythoughts · 15/11/2014 07:44

The one I know is usually known as Mandy

I've known 5 or 6 Mirandas over the years. None of them have appreciated having their names shortened.

I think it's one of those which just shouldn't be abbreviated. It's lovely as it is and to alter it sounds silly and too try-hard.

BaroquePearl · 15/11/2014 07:49

I know three and none of them use abbreviations.

TimefIies · 15/11/2014 15:53

Thanks, we like the name, and wouldn't shorten it ourselves, but were trying to think ahead to what others might call her!

The Miranda I know is called Meena.

SevenZarkSeven · 15/11/2014 16:03

I haven't known any but my first thought was Miri

RRJRJR · 16/11/2014 20:57

I know a Miranda as Maz

mewkins · 16/11/2014 21:00

Mim

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 16/11/2014 21:37

The only one I know uses a nickname from Miranda and her middle name together. You know, like Josiah Edward Barlet in the West Wing was Jed.

BathshebaDarkstone · 16/11/2014 21:43

Mizzy? Smile

My niece is Mira. But mostly she is just Miranda.

bouncingbelle · 16/11/2014 23:59

I went to school with a Miranda. We called her randy Mandy. probably not what you want to hear

Miranda itself is lovely.

mathanxiety · 17/11/2014 06:26

The one I know is Andie.
