[Opinions] Re: Margaret vs. Miriam
in reply to a message by vigdis
While I like Margaret, Miriam seems to be more pretty and have more personality. Meg is a better nickname than Mim, in my opinion; I prefer Miri.
To be honest, I never really paid attention to Miriam until a little while ago. I'm Catholic with a Jewish grandfather, so I learned about the character, whom I admired, but it wasn't until I saw the animated movie Prince of Egypt that I started liking the name. I think it was seeing an actual person (well, animated) named that made me consider it. I'm beginning to realize this happens with quite a few names: I see it on someone and it clicks.
Long story short... Miriam is beautiful. Also, Prince of Egypt is a very good movie.
