I'll be the dissenting opinion here and say I don't really like the way Miriam sounds. I like the idea of it, and the way it looks written out, but it always comes off sounding more nasally then intended IMO. Ultimately I prefer Marion for this reason. Additionally, and not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard for me to picture on someone who isn't super religious.

Some middle name ideas:
Miriam Noa
Miriam Liv
Miriam Rose - I know this is played out but I think Rose works especially well here.

I love the name Miriam, it's so pretty. I have a niece named Miriam Audrey which I think is a lovely combo. Other combos I like are Miriam Jane, Miriam Zoe, Miriam Celeste, Miriam Ivy, Miriam Lily / Lilia, Miriam Layla, Miriam Kate, Miriam Johanna, Miriam Hazel, Miriam Grace, Miriam Faith, Miriam Daisy, Miriam Sadie, Miriam Sabrina, Miriam Alice, Miriam Arielle, Miriam Zara, Miriam Clara, Miriam Violet, Miriam Talitha, Miriam Rose, Miriam Ruby, Miriam Eve / Eva, Miriam Estelle, Miriam Edith, Miriam Eden, Miriam Elsie / Elizabeth, Miriam Eliana, Miriam Willow and Miriam Pearl.

I love Miriam, it's on my short list (though currently I'm mostly considering it as a mn for my #1, Edith)

As a mn, though...

Its very pretty. Although the Biblical Miriam was a questionable bearer, thats easy to forget.

it'd be one of my fave ever names and one i'd definitely use, if not for literally one personal association i have. still lovely though. it has loads of meaning behind it (and the "mir" reminds me of the Slavic root for peace in some of my favorite names), and you can get cute nicknames like Miri and Mira.

and hmm maybe:
