I am torn on these names. On one hand I love the Hebrew feeling of Miriam and its' strength, on the other I love the solidness of Margaret.
I'm probably drawn more to Margaret than Miriam, but I wonder if Margaret will be too dated for my child and she would prefer Miriam. Miriam also has more religious connections, which is surprisingly important to me. It's less so about religion than family naming traditions.
Opinions? I am really thinking of going with Margaret at this point.
