These screenshots are from the MirandaElizabeth alias on NameBerry, which is verified to have been operated by Miranda Elizabeth Martinez (also known as Mira Martínez). They include the names “Marigold Beatrix, Fox Edmund, Sylvie Winifred, and Adair;” names she has repeatedly used across multiple aliases and platforms. The consistent use of these specific names across accounts provides strong evidence linking and verifying her various identities.

(It is notable as further alias verification that the profile photo on the MirandaElizabeth NameBerry account was also posted under the archae-heart account on Tumblr, that it makes reference to a deceased close friend which is also referenced across multiple aliases.)

These screenshots are from the archae-heart blog, which is verified to have been operated by Miranda Elizabeth Martinez (also known as Mira Martínez). They include the name “Marigold,” one of several baby names she has repeatedly used across multiple aliases and platforms. The consistent use of these specific names across accounts provides strong evidence linking and verifying her various identities.

(It is notable as further alias verification that the photograph in the second screenshot was also posted under the MirandaElizabeth NameBerry alias).

ThistleBones

Miranda was discovered to be behind this alias because she admitted she was previously VelvetBones, which is one of her confirmed aliases.

Under this alias, she accused a self-identified Black woman of race-faking. She was then questioned about her use of the dark brown emoji as a white woman. Her response to this was to claim she was a Brown woman and post a selfie in brown face despite having previously posted a selfie that showed her to be white.

False Claims to Irish Maternal Grandparents

As sweetgrass-soul and knotted-oak on Tumblr she repeatedly claimed that both her maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were Irish, they are both from Texas.

Verification that Miranda operated the archae-heart account can be found here.

Under the archae-heart alias, Miranda—who now goes by Mira Martínez—made repeated false claims to Indigenous ancestry, including membership in the Mescalero Apache and Nahua (Aztec) communities. These claims are unsupported and appear to be fabricated. She has made similar assertions under multiple aliases across platforms. This screenshot includes one of many examples in which she claimed Indigenous identity as part of a carefully constructed false persona.

Furthermore, posts made under the archae-heart account while Miranda operated it provide direct verification of her connection to other aliases, as she repeated the same false claims across multiple platforms.

These posts include references to fabricated children—names that, to the best of our knowledge, do not correspond to any real individuals. As far as can be determined, these children were invented as part of a broader pattern of deception.

False Claims to Indigenous Ancestry as sweetgrass-soul on Tumblr

Under this alias, Miranda claims Chiricahua Apache ancestry through her paternal grandfather from the Mescalero Apache Reservation in NM (he owned a moving company and was born and raised in east Texas). She has claimed her paternal grandmother is Zapotec from Oaxaca, she is a white woman from Texas.

Miranda Elizabeth Martinez, who currently goes by Mira Martínez, has repeatedly used the same set of baby names across multiple platforms and confirmed aliases over the years. These include archae-heart, sweetgrass-soul, and mountain-spirits on Tumblr, MirandaElizabeth on NameBerry, VelvetBones and ThistleBones on BabyCenter, and thoughtsforbirds on Reddit. The names—such as Marigold Beatrix, Fox Edmund, Sylvie Winifred, and others—appear across accounts in fabricated family narratives, often involving fictional children. The consistency of these specific names and story details across different usernames further links the aliases and supports verification of her identity and patterns of deception.

Alias Verification: MirandaElizabeth on NameBerry

The NameBerry account MirandaElizabeth can be confidently linked to Miranda Elizabeth Martinez, who now goes by Mira Martínez, based on several consistent and identifiable patterns that match her known online behavior:

1. Username: The handle MirandaElizabeth uses her exact first and middle names.

2. Distinctive Baby Names: The names Marigold Beatrix, Fox Edmund, and Sylvie Winifred appear on this account and across several of her confirmed aliases, including archae-heart (which she has publicly acknowledged), VelvetBones, ThistleBones, and thoughtsforbirds. These are not common name combinations and their recurrence is a clear identifying marker.

3. Fabricated Identity Claims: The account echoes the same unverified claims to Indigenous ancestry—claims that appear across her various personas.

4. Reference to a Deceased Friend: As in her other accounts, the MirandaElizabeth profile references a deceased friend whose story she has repeatedly used to build emotional credibility and sympathy across platforms.

The convergence of these repeated elements—name use, baby name patterns, identity claims, and personal narratives—provides strong verification that MirandaElizabeth is yet another alias used by Miranda Elizabeth Martinez / Mira Martínez.

This has been verified as one of her aliases because BabyCenter staff named it along with at least one other confirmed alias, ThistleBones.
