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.

Sounds good. Same initial thing I wouldn't worry about (unless you want theme of whole family with same initial). Recent threads of people who shared an initial with a family member show that it wasn't a big problem as far as mixed up post was concerned (the biggest 'worry' of some).

ficidy i liked meredith as well but it was also vetoed by dh.

Other names we had on our lost were bonnie, genevieve, hazel, Astrid, anouk and suikhi.

I liked milo as a bonus name but was vetoed by dh due to the tweenies. We found boys names much easier so good job we had four boys and only one girl.

I prefer it for a boy, as the saint was male.

I don't like Merryn as it's not clear whether it's male or female.

Lois is nice, an underused name from Biblical times. I've only ever met one Lois.

I like Ramona too, hope you can win him round!

Oh my gosh I LOVE Ramona!

Sorry, that's not much help.

I'm Cornish and not wildly keen on Merryn - there was an abattoir called St Merryn Meats near where I grew up which effects my decision but should have none on yours!

I agree that Merryn and Milo sounds a bit Topsy and Tim

Love it, different without being odd.

oooh LOVE Ramona, cool as hell.
yy Merryn and Milo sounds v twee

Love it!

I love Merryn, I think it's a great name. Cornish names are lovely.

Love Merryn. Don't watch GoT, so no association for me. I like Merryn and Milo. I don't think the alliteration sounds too contrived, because the names are not of the same ilk imo. Milo is cute, whereas Merryn is strong and feminine. They sound like people in their own right. Millie and Milo would be awful, like a pair of guinea pigs or something.

Thanks everyone. Lots of food for thought there. I really need to start focusing on boys' names. They are much harder I think.

Love this name! Pretty and also strong. Shortens to Merry which is cute.

Love it- and love 'merry' as a nickname x

My dd gets called merry or merrymouse.

Love Merryn and think it's fine with Milo.

Prefer Anwen or Arianwen to Arwen. (Arwyn looks more like a boy's name as 'wyn' is traditional male ending.)

How about Aderyn? Or Meriel?

Cake, I like Aderyn, but my dh wouldn't go for it.

He told me last night that he's coming around to Ramona and has gone off Merryn! Men! Anyway, our current shortlist is Ramona, Lois, Ines and Celeste (I'm not too sure about Arwen now - prefer Arianwen too, but dh says no!).

I live in Cornwall and love Merryn, shame its off the list. What abput Lerryn or Sennen? Or a nice Cornish boys name Mabyn, Tristan or Jago? love Cornish names

Elveny is one of my favorite too

Merryn is stunning! I absolutely love it! Congratulations on the little one

I love it too. I know a grown up Merryn. Also like Robyn, which has a similar vibe.

It's pretty. I'm visualising a pretty little girl with blue eyes rosy cheeks and long blond thick wavy hair.
Funny how a name always brings up an image.

byron robyn was also on our list for dd,but she is Def a Merryn.

She has blue eyes and blonde hair it's not wavy though. She is a cutie pie :)

There was a Muireann in my class who was from Sligo- we always pronounced it Merryn.

Also have a friend of Indian heritage whose name is Merin.

Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
