This name makes me wish I could have another daughter. I never thought of it when I was having babies!

I absolutely love it. Happy and sweet and punchy. I wouldn't use it though as a lot of people say it's a stripper name.

It's awful. Stripper name, for sure.

Makes me think stripper 😁

How to demonise something sweet!

Love it but sadly could never use it because of all the stripper stuff! In reality it doesn’t seem to have affected Cherry Healy in her career. I think more unusual probably make people more memorable overall anyway!

Just no. It's a total fluff name.

As in, it's up there with Honey.

I know one aged eight. Awful name.

I like it as a nickname for Cheryl.

I would think Hippie mother.

I don't like it sorry. How about Sherie?

I really really love this. It's one of my absolute favourites but I would never use it because of the stripper comments.

Awful, just awful

No, because of the slang connotations.

Definitely a stripper name.

Jennyvenice · 10/08/2018 14:46

Awful. Way too cutesy (and with stripper-y connotations). Would not translate well into adulthood.

I really like it! If Ds2 had have been a girl, he would have been called Ceirios, which is Welsh for Cherry Grin

Horrible.

I once had a teacher whose name was Cherry. How we laughed when we found that out! There was nothing sweet about her, mind you.

I don’t like it however do know an adult one. She’s not a stripper, she’s a scientist.

Sorry not keen either. It's seems very dated to me probably because of Cheryl.

I think it's way better than Sherie, which i've not seen before.
It could be short for Cherith if you want the obligatory MN-approved BC name.
I also like Sherri, short for Sherrin. I know it's a surname.

It feels powerful in a retro way. A strong bright colour, like Scarlett or Ruby.
