middle names to go with Miranda

58 replies

Any suggestions? We liked Miranda Alice, but thought it would be too many 'a' sounds. Also Miranda Kate, but dd2 has Catherine as a middle name which Kate is the shortening for, so that's out.

Also ideas for boys names welcome too. We like very classic, traditional names. We like Alexander and Sebastian at the mo.

Thanks.

Miranda Rose works well

MaplePecanPlait · 18/02/2009 18:52

Julius???????????

NO!!!!!

PersephoneSnape · 18/02/2009 19:22

i immediately though josephine, but note that you're multi-sylabelled surnamed. I like Mae as well. how about Ivy?

LuLuBai · 18/02/2009 19:24

I'm in a very 'Ines' mood today. Miranda Ines?

Or Miranda Iris?

thumbwitch · 18/02/2009 19:39

Miranda Leigh

Eve4Walle · 18/02/2009 19:46

Miranda Elise?

MadMazza · 18/02/2009 19:46

I know of a Maggie-May which is quite cute!

LuLuBai · 18/02/2009 19:47

Cute, but I am going to have the Rod Stewart song on my brain now.

What could possibly be wrong with Julius?!

I didn't have the nerve myself! But I'd be jealous of anybody who called their son Julius!

Juliet and Clara are lovely. I think there has been a litter of Poppys lately. I like it, but it's a name du jour.

MaplePecanPlait · 18/02/2009 21:18

Julius? Can you afford the school fees?
If yes, all well and good!

PigeonPair · 18/02/2009 21:20

Miranda Rose sounds gorgeous

angrypixie · 18/02/2009 21:32

We would have used Miranda for dc2 I love it;
She would have been Miranda Grace but we also considered

Miranda Scarlet
Miranda Chloe
Miranda Lucy
Miranda Faith
Miranda Dawn
Miranda Belle

RiaParkinson · 18/02/2009 21:33

as a Miranda of 41 years no one has EVER called me veranda! Just to clarify!

angrypixie · 18/02/2009 21:35

Oh and Miranda Iris

Debatable whether we can stretch to school fees for three, so Julius definitely out

Love Iris as a first name too.

I like Miranda Joy and Miranda Grace and maybe Miranda Louise.

But if you like Miranda Alice, you should go for it, Alice is a fab middle name.

BakewellTarts · 18/02/2009 21:45

Love Miranda (its my Dsis's name). Miranda May is great.

Also really love Peter...try Peter John.

MaplePecanPlait · 18/02/2009 21:52

Thank the Lord Piglet - really had an "is it just me or has everyone gone mad" moment back there.

Iris is lovely and very very pretty and most importantly not too aspirational IYKWIM. goes very well with Miranda and nicely unusual without being poncy!

Timeisablindguide · 18/02/2009 22:37

lol at all the school fees comments!
I like Miranda Elise actually, as suggested by Eve4Walle.
Make sure you let us know what you finally decide on Piglet!

RiaParkinson · 18/02/2009 22:38

Miranda Blythe is dreamy
