I really like the name Merryn. DH doesn't so its a no go. However I did say I liked Merida and he agreed.

What do you think?

I know a little boy called Merryn, which I've never heard before. Merida sounds very feminine...
Is this for a girl or a boy?

I love Merryn too.

Haven't heard Merryn for a boy. I actually got it from StarGate SG1. Blush

Merida is the new Disney Princess in Brave.

I think Merryn is a lovely name.

There is a financial journalist called Merryn who writes for the FT. I know that's no help in deciding, but thought it might be good to see that there are people out there with that name!

I love it (Merryn), the more I hear it the more I like it. I know DH really doesn't though. Sad

Merida is a place name - there's one in Spain and one in Mexico. I like Merryn!

I like Merryn. Merida sounds like a car.

CrapBag · 20/11/2012 21:47

So has no one watched Brave then?

Its not pronouced like the car, I have now just made that bloody connection although the car is Meriva pronounced Mer ee va but Merida is pronounced Mer i da.

I love it. Are you Cornish?

No although I know there is a St Merryn there. It was the name of a girl in 1 episode of Stargate.
