Marina or Miranda

[rupertsmama]

Which do you prefer for a little girl? Big brother is Rupert.

Miranda 100%! That's my dds name and it's beautiful. It means "worth admiring" and you can't go wrong with some Shakespeare inspired names. Also there are some beautiful paintings based on that character, Google "Miranda the Tempest" by Waterhouse

I prefer Marina, it's a lovely pretty name and quite modern. I like Miranda too though!

Marina is a Shakespearean heroine too.

Marina

Marina. Very pretty.

Marina.

Much prefer Miranda, lovely name. Marina is too 'nouny' for me to get past

Marina but I'm biased as it was my mum's name and she was a lovely strong woman, Miranda just makes me think of that comedian lovely but a bit goofy

Out of the two, I prefer Marina. I dislike Miranda personally and I was nearly named that by my parents! Soooooo glad I wasn't

❤️ Miranda

Like both but think Miranda wins for me.

Marina makes me think of Mirena coils

Marina is lovely.

Though I don't actually dislike it

How do you pronounce Marina? I immediately thought Mirena coil too but maybe I'm pronouncing it incorrectly?

Miranda very classic, goes well with Rupert.

But I think Marina is lovely, puts me in mind of the beautiful pop star Marina Diamandis

Miranda is a lovely name. Shakespearean, classic, strong.

Lovely names, both of them.

I think Miranda goes best with Rupert, though I think Marina is slightly lovelier as a name.

I like both.

I think Marina is prettier but it does make me think of the coil and Brighton marina a little bit if I think about it. I doubt I would if I met her though.

I always liked Marika and Mirren which are vaguely similar and I know a
Mirbelle, Marella and melissa (just in case mumsnet put you off your lovely suggestions)

Neither, both horrible.

Either. I think both are beautiful and different from all the Evies/ Islas/ Isabellas etc!
Marina just about pips it for me but love Miranda too.

I like Marina because it gives its name to a beautiful T.S. Eliot poem (also very Shakespearian, it came from Pericles).

Miranda.

Marina reminds me of the woman who held up our post office with a shot gun and said 'I'm Marina XXXX this is a hold up'. Made the stocking on her head a bit pointless really. This was going back a bit though but I still prefer Miranda.

Marina is absolutely stunning, and marina and Rupert sound so cute together
