Miranda has been one of my favorite names for many years - since high school, I think. Rarely is it not in the Top 10. I can't even tell you where I first heard the name - I didn't even meet one in real life until last year, and she spelled her name Myranda (I vastly prefer the usual spelling). Maybe I just saw it in print enough and thought it looked and sounded unique. But I love Miranda.

Mariah is a decent name - and, I believe, reflective of the nineteenth (and previous?) century's pronunciation of the name Maria (now almost always mah-REE-ah... and I apologize if I just put West Side Story in everybody's heads). Perfectly suitable for everyday. I knew a Moriah in high school - also a nice name, but she had her name constantly misspelled as Mariah.
