Thoughts on Miriam?

I like it but is it a bit wet?

It's beautiful. I think it's a strong name.

I love Miriam. I don’t think it’s wet at all. I think it’s quite a strong name.

Miriam is cute but I prefer the similar Mariam

TheYearOfSmallThings · 15/09/2021 15:19

I like it - if I had a DD this is probably what she would be called.

Wole · 15/09/2021 15:44

Ooh! Nice!

Nutkinsnuts · 15/09/2021 15:46

Lovely

Theworldisquiethere · 15/09/2021 15:46

I love it! Miriam and Marianne were top on my list if I ever had a girl

Orangejuicemarathoner · 15/09/2021 15:47

beautiful

MrsTesfaye · 15/09/2021 15:47

Love it

Def not wet! It's got a spark to it. Strong but pretty. Unusual enough to stand out but not a bizarre choice.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 15/09/2021 16:17

Went to school with an awesome Miriam.

PricklesTheHedgehog · 15/09/2021 16:25

Love this name. DH said no though. Go for it's

Orphlids · 15/09/2021 16:42

Yes, I like it. I met a baby Miriam recently and it was a lovely surprise to hear her name. I like the unusual ‘um’ sound at the end, which sets it apart from the many girls’ names which end in ‘ee’ or ‘a’. I think it’s that that makes it sound quite strong. Mimi is a cool nn.

A friend used that name recently as a middle name but spelt it Maryam but say pronunciation I think. I think it's a beautiful name and not wet at all.

FawnDrench · 15/09/2021 18:28

Miriam is a really lovely name.

TheWindow · 15/09/2021 18:29

It’s a really lovely name. Strong and womanly. I love Maryam, too.

ShowOfHands · 15/09/2021 18:29

It's lovely. My Aunt was Annie Miriam and I always loved her name.

AnyaMoondial · 15/09/2021 19:22

Love it.

Tal45 · 15/09/2021 19:26

I don't like it, it sounds really old fashioned to me.

YoComoManzanas · 15/09/2021 19:26

Lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 15/09/2021 19:48

It's a lovely old fashioned name. I'd probably assume you were religious, either Catholic or Jewish.

GobbledyGeek · 15/09/2021 20:34

A lovely, strong name!

ILoveShula · 15/09/2021 20:38

I like it. Know a teenage one and she's lovely

PeigiSu · 15/09/2021 20:41

Knew two both known as Mim or Mimm which is nice.

AutumnColours9 · 16/09/2021 00:28

I'm not keen. Not sure why maybe the UM sound!
