What are your thoughts on the name Mirabel?
It's from Latin and means "wonderful".

Last night my fiance (notoriously picky on girl's names) and I were watching Hell's Kitchen and one of the contestants was named Mirabel.
"I like that name." said fiance "I REALLY like that name"
"Of course you like it," I replied "Your favourite name is Mirah and if we named a daughter Mirabel, you could call her Mira for short!"

I told him I had to mull it over for awhile before I could decide if I liked it or not. I like Mirabel better than Mirah with an H and the nickname Mira without an H is ok.

Several people in this community have pointed out to me in the past that Mira is similar to the Spanish word for "look" but that's not SUCH a big deal to me because we live in Ontario and you don't take Spanish in school here. I don't even know anyone who can speak Spanish.

I looked Mirabel up and it hasn't been in the top 1000 in the last 15 years, so that's a big plus. My, as of yet unconcieved, daughter will not be one of 5 Mirabel's in her class.

So what are your thoughts on Mirabel, and what middle names would go with it (Hebrew names would be a plus).
The only combo I thought of so far is Mirabel Elizabeth.
