Re: Raphael
in reply to a message by noel
Odd. I just realized Miriam and Raphael have the same number of syllables and yet Raphael seems longer. I wanted to use Miri as a nn for Miriam but I have a niece named Mira. A few people tried to call her Mimi but that's what my mom uses instead of grandma!My last name is a boring, Irish name. My maiden name would sound great with Raphael but with my married name sounds like you're trying to pass of glass as a diamond.In the end though, who knows? We had always planned on using Margaret as a first name. I liked Miriam, my husband never did. Two months in we had settled on Miriam.I'll just add to the list for the time being.
