[mummyloveslucy]

Hi,we.have.our.boys.name.sorted,but.it's.a.choice.of.two.for.a.girl..Alice.or.
Merryn.I.wondered.which.you.prefere.and.I.also.need.middle.names.for.both.
Thanks..

Both lovely names, but have always loved Alice, so I'd go for that.

Alice. Definitely. Classy and classic and feminine but strong.

My dd is Merryn! She is 21mths and everyone comments on how its unusual and lovely!

Its cornish/old english and yes means joyfull and lighthearted. It is also linked to the sea as well. Its a lovely, lovely name :)

Definitely Alice.

Both lovely but for me Alice has the edge - it's beautiful and classic.

Oooh, Merryn is lovely :)

Alice has been done to death the past 15 years or so, so I would definitely choose Merryn!

Merryn. I always recommend it (amongst others) when people are looking for timeless, undateable names.

You can do better than Merryn May though - anything is more interesting than May in middle name terms. :)

Alice

Too many Alices definitely Merryn. Theres a rash of Alices round here it may be the new Eve.

I like both

Love both but Merryn has the edge.

What about Merryn Alice as you like both names?

Merryn Iris
Merryn Rose
Merryn Martha
Merryn Ivy
Merryn Esme
Merryn Sarah
Merryn Charlotte

Thanks everyone. We were going to use Ivy as a middle name, but my SIL has recently had a baby girl and used that as her middle name.

My boys name is Barnaby.

Merryn Rose is nice.

I think Merryn Alice is lovely.

Alice
It's dd's name

Does Merryn Wren go together? I quite like the nic name Merry-wren.

Merryn Wren is ridiculous, please don't! She'll develop a nickname once she's here.

Oh, o.k.

I mean you could call her that as a nickname - but don't actually put it on the birth certificate. Say the whole thing aloud, without thinking about "cute" potential..!

will do.
