[Opinions] Re: Miriam
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
It's okay. I neither love it nor hate it. I don't love it because it has an image for me of a middle-aged spinster. Not that "spinster" is in any way a meaningful word in today's society, but we're talking about images here, and all I can think of is a fussy middle-aged woman in a flowered shirt with a lacy collar and a sweater over that who never married and wishes she had. But I don't hate it because it sounds kind of nice and it's a classic and it's Biblical and it's actually a gem compared to so many of the names that are used on girls these days.
