I've never known a Miranda in real life. I'd like to, because I love the name. But because I've never known one in real life, my association with the name is the main character in "Dragonwyck." So it makes me think of a beautiful but naive blonde girl. I guess you could say that naivete is the first personality trait I think of. That might seem like a negative, but I still love the name.

I don't find any of your combos completely ideal because I think Miranda would sound best with a one-syllable middle name. So although I really like Lavinia, Ophelia, and Rosamund, I think those combos are too fussy. I also really like Tamsin, but I don't like the repeated A sound in Miranda Tamsin. Miranda Jillian is a huge clash in styles. If I have to choose a favorite, it would be Miranda Edith. I'm not a huge Edith fan, but as a middle name it's okay.
