[Opinions] Marian or Miriam?
Lately I've been really loving the sound of the name Marian.
It's not something I'd ever really considered before, and I read something with a woman named Marian and it just sounded lovely.
WDYT?
And do you prefer Miriam to Marian?
Some combos I've been thinking of (would welcome more!):
Marian Rosalind
Marian Eve
Marian Isolde
Marian Lenore
Marian Adelaide

I love Marian too! I'm surprised it's so rarely used nowadays, because I think it's classy and sounds very beautiful. Also I love the story behind the Maid Marian figure from the Robin Hood stories.
Definitely prefer Marian over Miriam. I don't see what the big deal is with Miriam. It's always sounded prematurely old to me.

I definitley prefer Miriam to Marian. I just can't get into Marian for some reason, but Miriam is a great name. (That said, I really prefer/love Mariam.)
Marian Rosalind is a nice combo.
Marian Rosalind is a nice combo.
Miriam definitely
They are both favourites, but I prefer Marian. It's a very soft, sweet name, but is also strong (yay for words that begin with S). Marian Rosalind is gorgeous.
