Yup, for the auto-shortener, Miri is going to be an obvious choice. I had a Mirrie in my family who hated it all her life but eventually just gave up correcting people. She's the reason why both my sister and a cousin decided against Miriam as a name for their daughters

Where do you live? I've never had anyone shorten my daughter's name to Miri. A few people tried with Mema and Mimi, but both faded quickly. I quickly put the kibosh on Mimi due to my mom.

I actually have come across several Miriam's and not a one uses the nickname Miri. In fact only one has a nickname and that's Mim
