Help[Opinions] Muriel
Someone recently got my daughter's name (Miriam) mixed up with the name Muriel. I was a bit surprised. I get Mariam, Marian and Mary Anne often, but never Muriel.
The thing is - I'm not sure how I feel about Muriel. It gives me a feeling of a shrewish woman who isn't shrewish at the same time. It's the name of a character in The Accidental Tourist so I'm guessing my feeling of the name stems from that book. Problem is I read it many years ago and the only things I remember is that the character was an over-protective parent with a bad perm and who liked to shop in thrift stores.
Anyway, thoughts on the name?
