HelpWDYT of Miranda?
I've been thinking about the name Miranda lately. I really like it, but I have mixed associations. On the plus side is Shakespeare's Tempest, whereas on the negative side is the reading of Miranda rights ("you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you...")
Two questions:
1. What associations do you have for Miranda, and do you immediately think of law enforcement?
2. I noticed on the Social Security website that Miranda was #118 in 1990, steadily rose and peaked at 57 in 1995, and has steadily declined to 160 in 2003. Why do you think the name rose and fell in popularity relatively quickly? (I like that it is not too common now, but I am wondering if I am unaware of some pop culture phenomenon--a celebrity, an evil movie character, whatever--that contributed to its decline.)
