I adore Miranda and would probably have used it if my dh hadn't despised it so much. I find it to be a shimmering jewel. It's near perfection as a name. I love the meaning as well. OTOH, variant spellings don't look nearly as attractive to me because part of the appeal of Miranda for me is the way it looks. I've seen Myranda, Meranda and Marinda and they do nothing for me.

Wouldn't Marinda be pronounced differently? I would say it ma-RIN-dah.

That's true. I was just speaking to the matter of people changing the spelling for whatever reason. Marinda DOES sound odd to me, but I can also see how it could be easily confused for Miranda -- especially if said quickly.
