Miranda
Although from Shakespeare's "The Tempest", I first encountered the name as a
child reading a series book in the 1960s called Maida's Little Theater.
When we were thinking about girl's names, I couldn't decide between Maida or
Miranda!

Dear LM_NET:
The elementary librarian and I were discussing names. We both have children
named for characters from books. How many of you did that too. Please send
your child name's and the book/author it came from.
