Can you help me come up with surnames beginning with Merry?

I'm trying to help my friend decide on a new surname. She wants it to start with 'Merry', or possibly 'Merri'.

Merryweather is the obvious option, but she's not sure about it. Others we've come up with are:

Merrywell
Merrywood
Merrygold (too much like marigold I think!)
Merryfield

And she loves Merrywinter but thinks it's a bit YA fantasy genre Grin

She has a nice, simple first name that goes with most surnames, and no middle name to contend with.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated!

It's a real surname - have a Google 😊
Pronounced Merrymun

Why can't she use the current Merrys?

Why can't she use the current Merrys?

The ending of one rhymes with her first name, and the other she just doesn't like.
