I just can't seem to find the right name. We really want something that says feisty, explorer but wouldn't be so out there that if she was a homebird it would seem wrong. OH still loves Skye (sentimental reasons) and Morven but I don't know if Skye has had its day. I only know the actress Morven Christie

I like Merryn. I know a Merryn with sisters Robyn, Quinn, and Rowan.

I like Merryn

Although think I like Mirren (Scottish) better

Morven is ok

Meredith?

Manon I sort of like but it might be hard for her to live with, I like Morgan because of its Arthurian connections but it’s a bit ploddy in reality.

Sky/e has definitely had its day, but alright as a middle name.

I love Merryn. Gorgeous.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 31/01/2025 18:36

Merryn is nice, so is Morven. How about Mirren or Meredith?

CindereIIa · 31/01/2025 18:33

I absolutely love Merryn. Merryn Skye is lovely!

Not keen on your other M names.

Never heard of Melusine as suggested by MistyF, but I like the look of it!

MistyF · 31/01/2025 18:30

I like Manon - how do you pronounce it in Welsh?
I personally love Melusine - it's from French fairy tale and it was common among dutch/belgian royals. Maybe you'll like that?
I wouldn't do Morgan, but love Morwenna personally and like Merryn and Morven, but not something I would choose for my kid. Would you consider Morgana?

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 31/01/2025 18:30

Morgan Skye is lovely.

Overtheatlantic · 31/01/2025 18:30

Merryn spelled Marin.

ExquisiteSocialSkills · 31/01/2025 18:27

Manon, then Merryn.
