Re: Margaret vs. Miriam
in reply to a message by vigdis
I love both. Margaret is on our to-use list, but because it's a family name. I like the sound of Miriam much better -- it's melodic but not frilly. I like the biblical Miriam (sister of Moses) well enough. As nicknames go, I think Meg is nice but dislike Mim. If I had a Miriam she'd be Miri for short.
