Loving this name- need middle name suggestions!

[name]Hi[/name] All!

I need middle name suggestions for the first name [name]Miriam[/name]. I have really fallen in love with it. It seems like it hit me out of the blue the other day, and I immediately got on Nameberry to check it out. I also love the meaning, it seems to really hit home for me. It means “wished for child.” [name]How[/name] apt! I also love the nickname potential of “[name]Miri[/name]” and [name]Mira[/name]" :slight_smile:

We have a very short 1 syllable last name beginning with “L.”

Here are some ideas I’ve had, but nothing seems to click yet. My husband is usually great at picking out middles, but he didn’t really have any further ideas than what is listed below.

[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Katharine[/name]

Any other suggestions? Thanks for any and all input!

I like your name! It is very unique and I think [name]Miri[/name] is a cute nickname!

I like [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name] for 2 reasons:

  1. I think it will really fit with your “L” last name, try saying it outloud: [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name] L

And 2. MY middle name is [name]Kathleen[/name], so I just have a soft spot for it! Can’t help but be biased!

Rachh-

My middle name is also [name]Kathleen[/name]! (It’s my mother’s first name.) I think I like this the best so far due to the family connection. Thanks for your input!
