Miranda - forever linked to SATC?

[boodleboot]

thought i'd stick this one up here as friend of mine is thinking of using it....what do we think of it and what nicknames would you give a little girl?

asked dp what he thought of my name and he said he liked it but inly on me

he says 'its your name - just yours; which is about the most romantic thing he has ever said!

We wanted to call dd Miranda but it didn't go with dp's surname (surnames beginning with a vowel are a pitn). We were thinking Shakespeare and SATC wouldn't have entered my head: then again, until I saw your thread I had no idea that there was a character called Miranda in SATC as I've never seen it.

Mimi is v nice as a nn imho but had dd been Miranda her nn would probably have been Mindy (as in Mork and...).

OMG Mindy is to die for ....i love it....i will sho friend this thread and hope she changes name so i can steal it for future DD's....

I love the name Miranda, Mirry is a cute nickname as well.

I like the name Miranda and was thinking of choosing it as I wanted the NN Mimi with it, even without a surname starting with Mi..

It always reminds me of the film Serenity, then Miranda Richardson. Who is brilliant.

I think Miranda Richardson, and Shakespeare. Never seen SATC.

I have had mirry but mostly mimi

Have a lovely friend called Merinda. We call her Min for short. If they would consider a slight variation to avoid SATC associations.

Tempest here too, and Mimi is lovely.

No re SATC - I gave dd1 the same name as someone in SATC (unintentionally, because it's not my thing) and a couple of people asked had I named her after. Two friends tried to find some baby Jimmy Choos, which really threw me for a while until they explained (I really don't watch it!). And since then (2004) no one has ever mentioned it again.

And I love Miranda and Southeastastra - yay - another Picnic fan! Luurrrve that film...

yes and one of the girls in P A H R says ' miranda looks like boticelli's angel'
