We are BH expecting a girl in a few weeks. Both of our grandmothers were named Miriam, but both were niftar young, so we want to add a name to it.
Another grandmother was niftar this week unfortunately- we can’t give her name (Esther) but maybe would like to honor her someway.
So our options are: Nechama Miriam (as a comfort), or Hadassa Miriam (Hadassa for Esther)…
Any other suggestions? Maybe something to do with sefira? We are heimish, for reference.

I have heard of the following combinations:
Hadassah Miriam
Miriam Bracha
Miriam Leah
Miriam Esther (which you said you can't use)
Miriam Baila
Sarah Miriam
Rochel Miriam
Hatzlacha!

Hadassa Miriam ( or Miriam hadassa) is a lovely tribute. As far as adding a name when it’s for a person who died young , AFAIK any addition is considered to change the mazel. Ask your lor and bishaa tova !

How about Ahuva? I find Nechama to be so somber and painful but Ahuva adds such a nice tribute.

Hadassa Miriam is the obvious choice as a substitute for Esther. (Just like the way that sounds better than Miriam Hadassa)
And they are beautiful names.

I don't know if this speaks to you but I have a cousin named
Efrat Miriam
because Miriam is called "Efrat" in Divrei Hayamim.
I think it's a lovely combination, which emphasizes Miriam's role in bringing to life all the Jewish babies in Mitzrayim.
