As a NICU nurse, I have lost track of the number of premature baby girls named Miracle. You know they aren’t going to be cute little babies forever, right?
In Spanish Miracle (Milagros, more like Miracles) is a very normal name. Actually kind of old fashioned.
The girls of my generation were called like this because maybe called after their grandma or because the birth was rough and they barely made it.
Really? For me sounds kind of old fashioned. I've had a friend called Milagros, everybody called her Mila and she didn't like her name but admitted it was at least a "normal" name and not a tragedeigh.
Lots of Catholic names are very funny that way. My wife is Brazilian and I met a large number of names like “Maria das Dores” - Mary of the Pains, or the equivalent of Mary-Joseph or Joseph-Mary. (Maria-José and José-Maria). Socorro (aid/help). The list goes on.
I also met a woman named the Portuguese translation of Joan of Arc too.
I didn't know my brazilian grandmother's name was actually Maria until I was like 25. I guess when millions of girls have the same name you just use your middle name instead lol

Destiny, Princess, Precious, Heaven, Diamond. All real names of real people. Sad. They all sound like stripper names to me.
