Anybody have a Mirren?

[WheresWally]

I think it is such a pretty name. Would definitly consider it for a baby girl

and let's both hope they don't turn out to be stoppy coos rather than lovely Mirrens.

lol, I think the problem is that when we had dd1 we knew what we were going to call her and when dd2 came along I wanted Lexie so dh said ok but from Alexandra so they both have shortened versions of 'proper' names

am not sure what he'll say this time - we still have ALL our boys names as we've never had a shot to use them but the girls name list just keeps getting longer and longer

No, but I know of a few.

Mirren was a name that we had as a possibility, but having had a DS with a Scottish Gaelic name, when we had a DS, we went with a Norse name to go with her Orcadian heritage. I do really still like Mirren though!

Oops meant to say when we had a DD.

I know a couple of Mirrens, and am in Scotland too.

I hadn't realised people spelled it like Mirren, though.

But, I'm in Scotland, too .

Er, as in St Mirren, the football team?

St Mirin (not the football spelling) is the patron saint of Paisley

I have a brownie pack in paisley and we have a lovely little girl called Mirin in the pack right now.

its a lovely name

Right enough I don't know how the Mirrens I know are spelt (I think one of them is Merryn ... got one or two y's in it anyway )

It's beautiful.

dc3 would have been Mirren if he had been a she . hes a Ewan instead

Oh I love Mirrin - so pretty.

Expat - I saw your names the other day. I loved Struan. DH didn't. Funny how our son has a name which rhymes but admit when I saw your girl's name I didn't know how it was pronounced. Absolutely lovely.

I heart all of expat's names (I've mentioned this on a thread before) esp her DD1. I'd love to call our DC2 (when we get PG - staying postitive!!) this if it's a DD. But spell it with an "A"

I have a very good Cornish friend in her 30s called Merryn. It's a lovely name, seems quite traditional celtic/gaelic.
