I like it a lot more than Matilda.

Miranda has been a favourite for a very long time. I know a Miranda, a medic in - I think - her 50s, who is never called anything else, but the idea of Miranda shortening to Randy is awful and I would only use it as a mn, just in case.One of the finest dogs I've ever had was Matilda: known as Matt the Mutt, she was a rescue dog who had been ill-treated. It took her a year to relax and start believing that she actually was safe and loved. Then she blossomed! But as a human name, I far prefer Miranda.

Love Miranda, love the meaning, love that it is both strong and feminine, and not some psudo-man name, a name a girl deserves.
Matilda is nice, but like it a just a bit less, still feminine and kind of kick ass meaning but a point or two lower on the personal appeal scale.

Miranda is one of my favorite names, has been for ages. I could easily see myself naming a daughter Miranda. And while Matilda my be older, with medieval history (I love the middle ages), imo Miranda outstrips it in every sense.Miranda Jasmine

I'm not big on Matilda or Miranda. I prefer Amanda.
