I like Mira, but prefer it as a nickname for Miranda. Nessa is a nickname to me, and I hate it even when short for Vanessa.

Miracle (but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use this!!)

I like Nessa... Mira, not so much.

Nessa is one of those names that I really like, but hardly ever tell people about, for some reason or another...

I don't care for Mira (it sounds harsh to me), and while Vanessa is an OK name, I prefer it with Nessa as a nickname.

I like both a lot. Milagros ("mee-LAH-gros") is also a personal favorite -- it means "miracles" in Spanish. I have a friend named Milagros and she is drop-dead gorgeous, very pale, milky skin, gold-brown hair, huge almond-shaped eyes, very slim and slender... I always associate the name with her. Sorry, got a little off-topic there. Of Mira and Nessa, I like Mira best. Mireille is another name that resembles "miracle," I think. Mirella is the Italian form of Mireille and another option. Mira could be a nickname for Mirella, or Miranda or Mirabelle. Or simply name her Miracle, which is a name in itself.

I love the name Mira. I also like Mireille, or Mireya. I'm not too fond of Nessa, even if it's a nickname for Vanessa (which I do like).

I of course LOVE Mira : )
Nessa is okay, but a bit nicknamey and nms

I found the word/name Gwyrth which is supposed to mean Miracle in Welsh. I'm not entirely certain of the accuracy of that though. I also have no clue how to pronounce it. I'm going to go and post about it on the Name Facts board.

Mira is prety. There was this girl on one big brother with the name Mirabai, which i think is also nice.

Nessa is ok, it could grow on me i guess.

I like them a lot!

I really like Mira. I think it sounds graceful and elegant. I am not a big fan of Nessa. It sounds like a nn for Vanessa to me.

I don't like Mira. And I would only like Nessa if it was short for something. It just sounds like a nickname.

And the world keeps spinning...

I love both of course. You took them off my list. :p
Mirial / Miriel is kind of neat, but it's spelled funny. :S

I like Mira as a nn for Miranda or Mirabel/ Mirabella. Nessa is cute as a nn too, for Vanessa.
