Sorry for all the posts lately!

What do you think of Merryn for Sylvie’s sister?

May she be as brainy as merryn Somerset Webb!

Heard it for the first ever time about 5 years a go and instantly loved it.

Love it. One of my favourite names.

I really like it and it goes nicely with Sylvie.

Cornish now unisex name but originally boys name I think. GOT seems to have previous for using girls makes for boys

Not keen at all, but seems popular here!

MikeUniformMike · 11/03/2020 10:53

Not keen.

ChessieFL · 11/03/2020 10:31

I like it but the only one I know of is a boy! I did always think it sounded more of a girl’s name though (had never come across it until I met him).

Shookethtothecore · 11/03/2020 10:30

I love it

KurtansCurtains · 11/03/2020 10:27

There's a St Merryn's in Cornwall, I think.

I like it though.

Rainbowqueeen · 11/03/2020 10:20

Love it

Double3xposure · 11/03/2020 10:18

It’s lovely .

tiredanddangerous · 11/03/2020 10:17

I really like it but I don’t like Merry as a nickname.

SinkGirl · 11/03/2020 10:15

My friend has a Merryn and I like it

emmathedilemma · 11/03/2020 10:15

Is it Cornish? I know 2 in Scotland! I really like it and the ones I know are lovely :)

autumnkate · 11/03/2020 10:14

I really like it and know an 8 year old Merryn

boredboredboredboredbored · 11/03/2020 08:45

Love it!

megletthesecond · 11/03/2020 08:12

I know one. It's a great name.

Sleepysnoozysnooze · 11/03/2020 08:11

Game of Thrones fan here and Merryn Trent is first thing that popped into my head! Not a pleasant man 😊
I wonder is it a Cornish (?) version of Muireann (an Irish name)? It's a lovely name, but Game of Thrones male character was my first thought...

EssentialHummus · 11/03/2020 08:11

I really like it.
