Re: Miranda & Mariah
in reply to a message by LillieMae87
I wouldn't personally use it, but I love Mariah. There's something delicate and ephemeral (maybe whimsical? but pleasantly familiar) about it; I think of a seaside for some reason. I used to primarily associate Mariah with Carey, but I don't really anymore (not that I think the Mariah Carey association is bad - she wrote/sings one of my fav songs, actually - but my perspective of it is broader now).
I don't like Moriah. It reminds me of Moria from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I've seen more than one church called Moriah (insert denomination) Church, so the vibe seems closer to Zion than Maria.
I get the feeling Miranda is like Rosalind. She could be utterly ordinary or fabulous and tough as nails, I don't really know, but I like it well enough. It's plausibly something my mother would have picked out, and I probably would've liked being named it or thought it was a cool name for a sister, if she had.
