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.
