Honestly? Depends on surname a bit I guess, but my instinct is no.
Love it, love it, love it.
I wanted it if DD had been a DS but DH wasn't as keen.

Are you a Merry Gentry fan OP? 
I'm really not keen but I might be biased from the books all I think is bat like human with tentacles that act like extra penises/penii.

Never heard of Merry Gentry?! It goes well with our surname but not sure - think it might be a bit unusual. Hubby is a teacher and there is one at his school. Not sure what it means as haven't checked baby names book but it is def a proper name!!!!

Sounds like a prize-winning racehorse to me.
Just googled it and apparently it's Scottish and means fruitfulness/fertility

It's pretty awful but I've heard worse.

Never heard of it. It sounds like a brand of Japanese car, so no.
Have you been reading North and South?

It sounds like a Jack London book.

I know a real life one - parents are Scottish/Irish, and the association with fertility would make perfect sense as I think he was an assisted conception. I think it's lovely if you have Scottish heritage, a classic and strong old school name.

very confused now! Still loving it and Hubby has some Scottish blood and greq up in Edinburgh. Oddly though he isn't that keen!!
