There's a new Maria in my life, the Office Manager of The Hub. She's Spanish, cute, and decided to call me Miranda—instead of Carrie?! Admittedly, she makes efforts to use my real name, but Miranda stuck to her mind. Is Miranda Spanish? Not at all, it is English. Is Mirona a strange word to Spanish people? Mmm, Catalonia has the one and only La Mirona!

Is Miranda, then, what I project? Because I really don't mind the etymology: Derived from Latin mirandus meaning "admirable, wonderful". The name was created by Shakespeare for the heroine in his play 'The Tempest'. This is also the name of one of the moons of Uranus. Whereas, if you search for Carrie, a comedy ensues, leading nowhere inspiring.

I'll have to stick to Mirona, which isn't even listed (yay!), and convince new Maria of its value.
