It's probably because it's a traditional Jewish name. It's just Hebrew for Mary.

Ah, that makes more sense!

Yeah it's funny to see it thought of as an old person name because when I hear Miriam I picture a youngish Jewish woman.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
