I'll be the dissenting opinion here and say I don't really like the way
Miriam sounds. I like the idea of it, and the way it looks written out, but it always comes off sounding more nasally then intended IMO. Ultimately I prefer
Marion for this reason. Additionally, and not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard for me to picture on someone who isn't super religious.
Some middle name ideas:
Miriam NoaMiriam LivMiriam Rose - I know this is played out but I think
Rose works especially well here.
