I'm not a fan of Miranda. I dislike the -anda ending.

I think it's too much, but I would consider them separately. They're not terrible. I do like Summer.

My niece is Miranda nn Mira, so I think of her right away. I don't really know that many Mirandas and I know for a fact that I didn't go to school with any, so I don't think it was overused. However: I don't really like the name. It's pretty enough, it has a neat history - but there is something lacking. Not sure what.

I love the idea of Summer Rain - the refreshing, warm, cleansing rain - but it's a bit cheesy.

I like Miranda a lot. My only qualm about it is that it is potentially too popular (but that might be because I was born in the 90's. Maybe it isn't popular anymore.)
I like it because it definitely has a witchy, fairy-princess, fantasy side while still being a very practical name for everyday use. I like it with the nickname Mira (I know a few Mirandas, but only one who ever goes by Mira.)

I like Summer Rain :) I have a soft spot for nature and hippie-type names. I wouldn't use that combo, but I would use Rain as a middle name.

I like Miranda, especially with the nickname Mira. I don't think it's dated -- I've never met one.

Summer Rain sounds like a brand of douche or deodorant.

I never liked Miranda. It sounds too formal and uptight to me.

---

Summer Rain sounds like the name of a douche on the Walgreens shelf.

Summer Rain sounds like a room freshener. Yes, it is way too much.

---

I don't like Miranda, I picture a fat redheaded girl with awful skin, buck teeth and ugly glasses who is always yapping and snapping and trying to show off how smart she is.

I really like Miranda. It never made it to the top 50 in the 1990s, so although it was in the top 100, I don't think it was terribly overused.

I like the images that come to mind when I hear Summer Rain, but I think it's a bit much, and it's on the cheesy side. I can see its appeal, though.

I think Miranda is okay. I went to school with one. She was nice. But my honest first thought about it was Miranda from As Told By Ginger. Total mean girl.

I think Summer Rain is a bit much. Summer is cute and Rain is okay. Together, too much. It does have an okay sound though.

I love Miranda! As I just mentioned yesterday, it was one of my favorite names when I was a teenager, I was ridiculed for that by my older sister, and took pleasure in telling her years later that I still liked the name and it hadn't been a stupid teenage phase.

I'm surprised that it isn't more popular, also. I wish that some of the Amandas out there had been Mirandas, instead. It did have a spell of popularity in the 90s, but it was never so high that you could call it overused.

I say go for Summer Rain. What the heck? Sure, it's a little cheesy, but it's whimsical, too, and I don't think that it's so cheesy as to be embarrassing.
