Merryn - spelling?

[KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth]

I watched a film the other day and it had a girl in it called Merryn - no idea of spelling but pronounced Merrin, I think I like the spelling with a y but I don't generally like deliberately mis spelling names'so I'd like to know the accepted spelling of this name.. Meryn doesn't look right and makes me think more Mer-Yun.

Does anyone know this name and how it would usually be spelled? And do you like it?

I love the name Merryn as well and as far as I know that is the usual spelling. It means joyful :)

It's lovely isn't it? Everrytime they used the girl's name in the film I was like ahh what a lovely name! Not many names have that impress ion on me!

Yes it's spelt Merryn and its Cornish

Ps it's a lovely name!

I love the name Merryn. My husband vetoed it for our second girl but if we ever have a third he can sod off, I'm having it! I think originally Merryn was a man's name, there's a place called St Merryn in Cornwall

I know a Merryn. it's a lovely name.

Yes, Merryn. Wonderful name.

I know a Meryn spelt like that, lovely name

It's too of our list for our baby due in Feb, and it didn't occur to me it was spelt any way other than Merryn, which I think looks "right", IYKWIM.

Out of interest, what other girls' names do you like, OP? I'm having real trouble with girls' names!

It's interesting that Merryn is cornish because I also really like the name Karenza which I believe is Cornish meaning Love. I'd like to spell it with a C though, and shorten to Carrie but I guess that is wrong for the cornish spelling.

Other girls names I like include Cordelia, Sadie, Phoebe, Elara, Marnie and Cadence...

I know a Merryn but she gets called Merry which really suits her - it's a lovely name.

Love Cordelia and Phoebe, and I like Marnie and Elara too. I also love Corin but I think it's used more for boys than girls (not so keen on Corinne).

We called our 9 daughter Merryn! Just out of interest what film were you watching?x

It's Merryn, my dd is Merryn, she is just five and we live it. Always get lots of positive comments.

I like that it is unusual but not wierd iyswim and dd loves her name as well.

On average there are 30-40 babies a year called Merryn according to ons statistics.

Btw I am expecting Dc6 due easter and dh likes Marnie if baby is a girl, not sure we can have a Marnie and a Merryn. Cordelia has also been mentioned and corinna.

Merryn is gorgeous! Karenza is a bit though, I think.

Love Sadie, Phoebe and Marnie, though.

Sorry I should have said 9 week old!
I will keep a look out for the film.
I like names that are unusual but not wacky!!
Our other daughter is Niamh.

Love this name.

No more DCs for me, but if by any bizarre chance I end up with a daughter in the future I'd love to call her Merryn. It's a mixture of my parents' names who've both passed away.

Love the nn Merry too.

Merryn is so pretty.

I like Merryn (and Meryn). I know a Carenza with a C, it's unusual but not outlandish.

It is spelt Muireann in Irish (pronounced Mir-in)

Muireann is actually pronounced M'wir-un.

Although that name will now forever remind me of Catastrophe
