I wish I could remember! could be the Free Fishers, but it's been a very long time. I'll try to find it, and if I can I'll get back to you.Of course, there's no absolute guarantee that just because JB said something, it's correct. Though it is highly likely!

My Scottish mother-in-law is named Mirren. She was named for her grandmother, who was named Marion but nicknamed Mirren. There is definitely a difference in pronunciation between these two names (I had my husband say them in his brogue) but Mirren may be an antiquated nickname as well as a real name in its own right.
