What do you think of the name Merryn for a girl?

[Ficidy]

This is one of the few names my dh and I can agree on. It's a Cornish name, but we live in Ireland. Do you think there would be any issues with pronunciation?

Our other names are Lois, Arwen/Arwyn, Ines, Roslyn (but it's unlikely we'll choose this and I prefer Rosalind anyway). Trying to persuade my fussy dh that Ramona is a lovely name.

We already have a Milo.

We don't know what we're having. No idea re boys' names at all.

To me, it sounds like a boys name but that's probably my ignorance. Ramona is the best name in the world ever, but DH wouldn't let me use it for DD either. I prefer Arwyn. What about Roisin?

I like it.

I love Lois best of all though.

I really love it! I know two under 3. Beautiful name

Sounds a bit more like a boy's name to me too. Also has an unfortunate Game of Thrones link.

I live very close to the St Merryn, in Cornwall and I know of a couple of Merryns. Its pretty - I like it.

I like it... but I'm not sure I do with Milo.

I like it. Also like Mirren (Scottish) and from your list Arwen and Roslyn/Rhoslyn.

I love Merryn. Was on our list. Well, MY list - It wasn't traditional enough for DH...

I love it, but am biased, it's my daughters name. She is four and the only one we know. I have heard of others online. It's unusual but not popular, since my dd was born there have averaged about 30 babies a year called Merryn according to ons statistics.

It's nice. I'm Irish, and wouldn't anticipate any pronunciation difficulties.

I should add I do actually love it though and would be all for it were it not for the GOT character! (Though that'll be forgotten in time I'm sure.)

I havens very good friend from St Merryn and her middle name is Merryn. I think it's lovely name and only has positive associations for me. I really like all your other names and your DS's name too.

I don't know got, having Googled they spell the characters name meryn so not quite the same. But it's not a massive connection. Unless you watch it I guess.

I'm not keen. Much prefer Ines/Inez or Ramona.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I'm glad so many people like it, but also like our other names.

ExitStageLeft, Roisin is out because it's a close relative's name on dh's side and for personal reasons, we can't use it.

I also like Meredith, but dh has vetoed it. I forgot to add earlier that he likes Celeste. I'm on the fence.

After all this, we'll probably have a boy who will be nameless!

Don't use another 'm' name - even if it isn't intended, it looks so contrived. Lois is gorgeous though. Love that name.

Merryn makes me think of that FT Money writer... It's pretty, not overused and relevant to you - a winner imo way better than Ramona anyway

I like Merryn. I'd never heard it before, but it reminds me of the Irish name "Muireann" which I love.

Merryn is lovely, can't decide whether its a bit twee or not to have both DC with M names. Lois is lovely. Arwen is too associated with Lord of the Rings for me, but it's a nice name. I really don't like Ramona at all.

I really really like it.

Yeah, I was wondering that about the M names. Hmm, something to talk to dh about.

I've not heard of it before but I really like it.

I went to school with one, no pronunciation issues. Lovely name.

I like the name and I know one who is 15. I like Rosalind much more though.

I like it, but I am Cornish! . How about Lerryn?
