I love all of them, especially Lydia. It gets my vote because I think it is the most classic and timeless and will fir the best through all stages of life. Lydia Miriam gets my vote although I also love it paired with Ruth and Bridget.

They’re all nice names but I adore Miriam. It’s a beautiful and joyful name. Miriam Ruth flows well and sounds very classy. I hope that helps.

I’m just not a fan of Monica. Dated for me, and I’ve still got Ms.Lewinsky in my head-anyone else?

I Love the name Lydia, and I think it’s the best fit with Carissa as it sounds both classic and modern.

It does seem to be getting more popular, if that matters.

I also love the name Miriam, esp. with the nn Mimi. I like that it’s feminine and less common, and I love the Biblical heroine. It’s def. a name that would have me assuming you’re a religious family-don’t know if that matters.

I personally think it’s just not as great a match with Carissa, as Carissa strikes me as so much more modern, but if you like the pair together, so be it.

I like Bridget as the mn with either. It’s cute and spunky and gives both your girls a B mn.

Otherwise, I’d go with Kathleen.

I do also like Ruth. Again, and I don’t know if this matters, Lydia Ruth or Miriam Ruth are both very religious sounding names.

Some of the others also flow well; they just aren’t favs.

Hope any of that helped. :)

Lydia Grace or Lydia Catherin. I love Lydia because it’s uncommon but really adorable please name her that I can just see a little girl with that name!:)

I like Miriam, I think it is gorgeous and ageless. Never liked the name Lydia, and Monica is a bit dated in my opinion/ country.

From your mn choices, my top 3 (not in that order) would be:
Miriam Heather
Miriam Colleen
Miriam Kathleen
