I love the name [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] and was thinking nickname [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f] but I was wondering if you thought that would be too much of a stretch? (I once heard someone say you can shorten any name to [name_f]May[/name_f] but I don’t know if I agree). I love the meaning of the name [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] and it’s meaning/history ([name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], Picnic at Hanging [name_m]Rock[/name_m]).
Could you think of anyone had any similar names that could also be shortened? And any suggestions for a boy?
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] ‘[name_f]May[/name_f]’ could work, I think
[name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Andie[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f], [name_f]Mandi[/name_f] and [name_f]Miri[/name_f] are other nn for [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about the [name_m]French[/name_m] name [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] (mee-[name_u]RAY[/name_u])? It shares [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]’s wonderful meaning (marvel, miracle) and shortens very naturally to [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
I also really like the suggestion of [name_f]Mirabel/name_f. It feels fresher than [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] to me, plus a mirabelle is a type of small plum, so you could use the adorable pet name [name_f]Plum[/name_f] as well as [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Mim[/name_f], [name_f]Belle[/name_f], etc.
