[Opinions] Re: Miranda
in reply to a message by )(
I love it as a full name; I know a dermatologist in her 50s who is only ever called Miranda. But most people end up being known as Randy, which makes me happy to use it as a mn but not for everyday use.

I've only met one Miranda with a nickname and it was Mira. All the others went by Miranda. Randy wouldn't be intuitive where I live, it sounds like the name of a middle-aged man or the adjective meaning horny!
Where I live, it's strictly the adjective. Hence my reluctance to consider it as a fn.
