Help[Opinions] Miranda
In my new novella I am basing a character off these sisters, my best friends Kayla (right) and Blondie (left). Her name is Miranda, or Randi, and she looks like Kayla. I'm blind--I don't remember if Kayla has purple hair in this pic--but if she doesn't, just imagine her with purple hair. I've tried every middle and last name for Miranda that I could think of ... do you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Mel

Well the mn could be an honouring name from family or friends past. I don't know if you have any character background like that.
Some ideas:
Miranda Jean, Miranda Jane, Miranda Jayne, Miranda Joan
Miranda Bridie
Miranda Rosemary
Miranda Carol
Miranda Cherie
Miranda Wendy
Miranda Bessie (alternative to Beth? I know someone with Bessie as a mn), Miranda Elizabeth
Miranda Kathleen
Miranda Joanne
Miranda Joy
Miranda Margaret
Miranda Rose
Miranda Grace
Miranda Nellie
Miranda Eva
Miranda Cindy
Miranda Louise
Some general 'Englishy' surnames:
Miranda Cole
Miranda Allsop
Miranda McIntyre
Miranda Griffith
Miranda Allan

I love the name Miranda. It is elegant and slightly mysterious. Known, but not overly used. Perfect. My favorite nns are Miri, Mimi and Mia, but Randi works well too.
Mn(s):
Miranda Lucy
Miranda Sophie
Miranda Kate
Miranda Lily
Miranda Truth
Miranda Sonnet
Surnames:
Miranda Pym
Miranda MacGregor
Miranda Hart
Miranda Cuthbert
Miranda Murphy
Miranda Prothero
Miranda Hollis
Miranda Swinbourne
Miranda Connick
Miranda Flannery (too much "an" sound, perhaps?)
Miranda Scott
Miranda Collins
Good luck!

To try and make it as real as possible, I’d give her a common MN rather than something fanciful. As for surnames, I’m rubbish when it comes to those, so maybe you could think of her heritage and what her surname would be, and use the surnames board and database for help, it’s like this database but for surnames which is really helpful!

Miranda Alice
Miranda Lee
Miranda Jane
Miranda Jean
Miranda Julia
Miranda Marie

Love your sig!
I like:
Miranda Nicole (that was her name until a Nicholas entered the book waaaa)
Miranda Lee, but even better spelt Leigh (unfortunately I used Leanne in my other book aaahhh!)
Miranda Lynn (but unfortunately I'm using Lynn in this one, the protag's name is Keri Lynn)
Miranda Elizabeth...I thought of Miranda Beth? That was her name for a while--Miranda Beth Stewart--but I felt like something was missing.
Miranda Kate is really cute, and also Miranda Claire.
I shall peruse thesfurther.
Thanks,
Mel

Miranda Jane and Miranda Phoebe are cute...I will consider. Could you tell me, how do you pronounce Ceres? I've never seen it before.
Thanks,

Ceres is pronounced 'SEH-reez'. Ceres is a Roman goddess (equilvalent of the Greek goddess Demeter) and the name of a dwarf planet.
