Miranda _______ Alexander (my maiden name as middle, one syllable)


Do Charlie and Mira sound like cute sibling names. Charles (our son) and Miranda?

Charlie and Mira are perfect!!

I do think that Miranda Alexander is a bit much. Mira Alexander is fine and I really think that Mira can stand on its own.

Alternatives to Miranda:
Miriam
Meredith
Marissa
Marielle
Melora

Good luck,
Brooke

I think if you are going to "go by" MIRA (which is lovely btw) that it is fine w/ your last name.

I think it flows well with your last name.

Mira isn't an obvious nickname from Miranda for me, but I do like both names.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I adore Mira and I think Charlie and Mira are wonderful together. I do like Miranda quite a bit, but I have to say that I much prefer Miriam and I think Charles and Miriam would be an even better match. If I were you, I'd definitely go with Miriam nn Mira, especially given your last name. Miranda Alexander is not terrible and if you love it, you should absolutely use it. But I will admit, when I said it out loud it became a sing-songy Miranda Alexanda
