Miranda, a shimmeringly lovely, poetic name that was invented by Shakespeare for the beautiful and admirable young heroine of his play, The Tempest, is still a recommended choice even though its popularity peaked in the 1990's, partially as an antidote to Amanda. But while Amanda now sounds dated, Miranda retains a good measure of its charm.
 
Derived from the Latin word mirandus meaning "admirable, worthy, marvellous", the name ranks in the Top 700 in the US, while in Mexico and Puerto Rico, it featured in the Top 100 in recent counts. Nicknames Mira and Miri keep it fresh, while Mandy and Randy may appeal to those who like a touch of retro. 
 
The name made a big impression in Sex and the City and The Devil Wore Prada, and there was also a Bond Girl in Die Another Day called Miranda. In the real world, Miranda has been notably borne by actress Miranda Cosgrove, singer Miranda Lambert, model Miranda Kerr, comedian Miranda Hart, and writer Miranda July.
