Katherine or Miriam?

So my husband and I have finally gotten things narrowed down to two names for our daughter due in August:
Katherine - This is the only name that was on both our lists. With this one I worry that it's a little TOO popular, especially with all the nicknames... Kate, Katie, etc. - there are so many little Katies running around. All in all, I love the name (and the nicknames) but I am not sure if Katherine is too "safe" and "boring" of a choice. While it is lovely, it's not particularly inspired.
Miriam - I've always loved this name, and my husband likes it too, but it's obviously much less popular. It's a classic name that isn't used much these days. It's a name with some cute nicknames - Miri, Mira, Mim, Mimi, etc. But I've heard a few comments about this name that it's too "old lady".
What do you guys think? Between the two, which would you choose and why?
Thanks!
Tiffany

Miriam, definitely. Katherine is beautiful but way too popular.
I like Miriam better. Miriam is classic but not boring. I've met more Kathryn/Katherine/Catherines than I can count. I've only met two Miriams. Both were dark-eyed, dark headed, rather attractive women.
HTH!
