Help[Opinions] Re: Miriam
in reply to a message by Siri
I think it's absolutely gorgeous, but I do prefer Mariam. Of course, I bet that'd be misread as Marian a lot, but oh! Mariam sounds lovely to me. :)
Miriam Judith and Miriam Joy both sound fabulous. I also wouldn't say no to Mimi, Mamie, or Mitzi (if she was the right kind of girl) as nicknames; much as I love Miri, it would be rather close to Mira, assuming that they'll see quite a bit of each other.
I like Miriam and Mercy together. They both feel very quiet and a bit down-home to me. As for them sounding too religious, if I were to make the stereotyped assumption, I would say that they sound religious in different ways--Jewish versus Puritan. (When I hear Mercy, I think of the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond, which had sisters Mercy and Judith. Isn't that a great pair? :)
But the religion in them isn't the whole of them, and--well, I really like them, both separately and together. I'd even like Mercy Miriam as a combo! :D

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Thanks.
Mercy Miriam is a bit much for me. I think Mitzi would be an adorable nickname - in fact, I adore it. (The only problem is my aunt had a dog named Mitzi) Mimi is out of the question, though - that is what the grandkids call my mom. :-D
Mercy and Judith is lovely.
I was curious about the streotype - Christian vs. Jewish. I'm glad you see them as quiet and down-home, though.
I really think that Mitzi (if she was like her mother) and Mercy would be perfect. Now if Mercy was like me, though...she'd have the same issues with her names as I did mine.
