Re: Names my husband vetoed (more)
I like all of your names except for Magda and Naomi. I would spell Norah with an 'h' because it looks incomplete to me, otherwise.I like Cecilia NN CeCe or Lia, but I don't care for his other names. Sorry, Xander.I have a soft spot for Judith for personal reasons, I'm lukewarm on Margaret (I like the nicknames better than the full name), I can tolerate Katarina if I can use Kat, and I'm so-so on Miriam. It's okay, not really my cup of tea, but fine. I do like Julian and Malcolm. Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Kat was the nickname of choice.I kinda wish we'd gone with the Mariam spelling.
I like both spellings. Miri or Mari are cute nicknames, but I don't know if your Miriam could ever go by those.
Nope.I knew a Miriam who went by Miri, it's what caused me to love the name. But Miriam is already too close to Mira, and she has an aunt named Mary.I love the nn Mimi as well, but that's my mom's grandma name.
