i love the name but would worry about being teased...you could go properly welsh though and make it Myrrdin (think it's pronouncde murthin)

only if he's a wizard

I only know one and I think his mother called him it just to be cruel...he was teased very badly but that was prob more to do with him mum being v odd than the name itself.

He's grown up now.

no sorry really don't like it - he will have wizard jokes for the rest of his life.

I like it but there'd be the connection with the new tv show I bet.
I like Maerlyn as a spelling - though people might think it was Marilyn!

yup - we know a Merlin. He is a cute little imp and it suits him down to the ground

MannyMoeAndJack · 23/09/2008 12:23

Yes, like it.

I love it - my DH is welsh and I would have loved Welsh names for my DCs but he wouldn't go for Merlin! They have welsh middle names tho - LLewellyn and David.
