Help[Opinions] Mira and Vida
This sibset came into my head the other day and it intrigued me. I love the meanings, "peace" and "life" in Slovenian.
The middle manes would likely be Mira Josephine and Vida Ruth, Josephine and Ruth are family names.

Despite its nice meanings in other languages, I'm afraid I can't warm to Mira, because in Spanish it means 'look, sight'.
That might not seem like a bad meaning, but there are a few phrases in Spanish which include mira/miras, that ruin as a name for me.
For example...
De miras estrechas - narrow-minded/to look at things narrowly
Mira de bombardero - bombsight
Vida I love though. It means 'life' in Spanish.

Would Mirabel / Mirabelle have the same association in Spanish to you?

Yes it would.
I like Mirabel, but would never use it, because it makes me think of the word mira.

Yes, technically. They're just both Slovenian names. :P I could've been clearer. Thanks about the perception of the names as a Croatian. :D
