Isn't she sweet?  ... Miette. I haven't ever met a little Miette, but I just know I will one day, surely a parent is going to be attracted to this adorable bubbly little French name.  Anyway, I know what she looks like this little Miette, she just has to have large brown eyes with wild curly hair and a big pink bow.  Don't you agree?

Miette means 'small; sweet', apparently just like a little pastry crumb.  It is possibly a short version of Mariette.  I think it is very small and sweet indeed. 

I am not usually a fan of 'ette' names, I think this is because they were so popular in the 70's they seem kind of retro daggy.  But I think Miette has the same feeling as Amelie and Chloe which are uber popular at the moment.
