Miranda Paul: Hello, my name is Miranda Paul. Miranda rhymes with words such as veranda and panda. Paul rhymes with words such as ball and hall. Miranda is actually the name of the smallest of the moons orbiting the planet Uranus. All of those planets were actually named after literary characters and Miranda is the only female character to appear on stage in William Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. There's all these great things about my name, but my parents actually told me that they found it in a baby book and liked it and that's why they named me Miranda.
