[Opinions] Mihrimah
Mihrimah is a very old name that means 'sun and stars' and was the name of the daughter of the Sultan in the Ottoman Empire. Do you like it? Is it usable? It kind of reminds me of Miriam.

It's super pretty, and has nice meaning and history. However, I think the spelling is definitely going to trip people up - the first h is kind of unexpected. If you're ok with you and your child having to spell her name out for all eternity, it's usable. As a MN, totally usable.

I've never heard of it before, but I like it and think it's usable. It has a nice sound and a great meaning. No doubt it would be mispronounced and misspelled a lot.

Hi !!!It is one of the most beautiful Persian/Turkish names I've ever seen.I love the link with the daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent and the meaning is beautiful.I find it very different to Miriam. It is closer to Mehriban actually in my mind.But the meaning is great! I love astral names!

It's pretty, but it sounds a lot like Maremma to me, which is a dog breed (as well as other animal breeds and a place in Italy)...and it sounds like Miramar...I think it'd be usable, for people who really like it or have some connection with it, but I'd use Miriam or Miriama instead.
