Re: My name
I was actually named for the moon of Uranus, which blew up and yet came back together again. Mom saw it on a Nova episode and liked it. But since Uranus's moons are all named after Shakespeare's characters...Although the name Admiranda is attested to in 1231/32 (http://snipurl.com/8wbl), Shakespeare probably invented Miranda independently c. 1611 for his play The Tempest.And that was probably much more than you ever wanted to know, lol.
