Sibling for Merryn

OOMG · 05/04/2018 14:15

Hello Smile

I’ve namechanged as DD’s name (Merryn) is not very common where I live & i’m currently 7 months pregnant so probably a bit identifiable to anyone that knows me!

We don’t know if we’re having a boy or girl.

Favourite girls names are:
Imogen
Phoebe
Romilly
Cassia

Boys names - am totally stuck. The only one I like at the moment is Flynn. Not sure if it ‘goes’ with Merryn though?

We love the name Merryn and I’ve yet to think of a name that I feel the same about.

What are your opinions on the above choices/other suggestions?

Thank you Flowers

Romilly is really likely to end up as Milly, sorry (which I also really dislike!) I know one, and that is her nn.

Rowena is great!

Marnie I really dislike, sorry.

Rowan for a boy? Leo, Felix, Rory, Yann?

Littlemum2be86 · 08/04/2018 20:28

I really like Rafferty and think it goes really well with Merryn!

user1498549192 · 08/04/2018 08:16

Kester

Elias
Caspar
Arlo
Silas
Bram

I know a Merryn - brother is Tristan. Brilliant names.

Mrsx79 · 08/04/2018 06:37

Ooh I remember our girl name....elowen.

Littlechocola · 08/04/2018 02:15

Piran
Joby
Sennen
Morwenna

Mrsknackered · 08/04/2018 01:56

And I think Romy is the obvious nn for Romilly.

My son is Roman, and he is called Romy most often

Mrsknackered · 08/04/2018 01:51

Out of your list I love Romilly, detest Phoebe.

Suggestions:
Ottilie
Sabine
Althea
Eilish

Jory
Franklin nn Frank
Otis

I have a Merryn. Like you it was our only girl name...we couldn't think of any other. Our second is a boy and we went with Seth. We are up north so we have never heard of another Seth.
I also fancied Magnus or Fergus.

Merryn and Zachary

SmokyRobinson · 07/04/2018 23:29

Merryn and Raff works so well together - both lovely names, and they seem to fit beautifully.

Mamaryllis · 07/04/2018 23:20

I know a Merryn with a sister Alekni.

ErrantBakedBean · 07/04/2018 23:18

Merryn and Juno
Merryn and Alban

Have a look at Irish names. Many of them will go well with Merryn.

SabineUndine · 06/04/2018 16:30

Btw Cassia is a laxative.

MammieBear · 06/04/2018 16:27

Iola came to mind instantly reading your post.

RockafellerSkank · 06/04/2018 16:08

I love Merryn, and Romilly - great sibset. I'd think Romy is more obvious as a nn, but it's nice she has the option of being a matchy barnyard animal with her sister should they so wish! :D

Bonnie, Bliss, Blythe. All lovely too.

Felix mean happy/lucky.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 06/04/2018 14:16

My best friend in primary school was called Veryan. Maybe too similar to Merryn.

Baubletrouble43 · 06/04/2018 14:07

Romilly is gorgeous and sounds nice with Merryn I think. All your girls names are lovely. Flynn is ok but rhymes and that would annoy me? I like Jago as pp suggested and Treve ( not sure of spelling) is also a cornish name that would go well?

I love Merryn.

I used to teach a Rafferty, nn Raffy. Great name.

TegKernow · 06/04/2018 12:58

I know a Merryn. Her siblings are Tamar (girl) and Orion (boy).

If you like Cornish names what about Morwenna, Zennor, Lamorna, Veryan. Or Piran or Jago for a boy.
