What do you think of the name Cheryl ? Or Cherie ?

Hate it. Makes me think of Cheryl Cole.. yuck.

Awful. Both of them. Sorry OP!

Ohhhh our Baby Cheryl pet.

Please don't

Well...I like the sound of Cheryl. It's pretty, to my ear. But it does sound a bit dated now. I think I would only use it as a middle name.

I don’t like it. Cherie is a bit better but still not a name I’d choose. However, it’s not a hideous name and if I was called it, I wouldn’t completely hate it.

Cherie is okay.

The 'ie' ending is popular now. Cherry is also a name that could be considered as quite modern.

Names that are not yet on trend can be good, they can be cutting edge and suddenly you find five years on that every maternity ward is full of them. But by my reckoning it’ll be a good twenty years before Cheryl is due a revival.

Sorry to add to the chorus of nope, OP, but Cheryl feels like such an old fashioned name...and I immediately think of Cheryl Cole

It is hideous. As are Meryl, Beryl and Daryl.

Don't like either

I quite like Cheryl (and think that spelling is way nicer than Cherelle)

Cherie is too associated with Blair for me.

I know an adult Cherrill, which is even more unattractive.

Oh dear hearing that adult Cheryl is even worse

The comment that your child will have to contend with girls with popular pretty names at school made me smile as Agnes, Elsie and other previously considered awful old lady names are all the rage again.
It all goes in circles and if you like the name that is what is important . Personally though i am not a fan

I have an auntie Cheryl
She has hair like an oil slick and rotten teeth
Not a cool connection to the name xx

Dreadful.

Which pronunciation would you use? I like Cheryl pronounced with a "Ch " (as in church) but not "Sh" (as in shop).

Awful, sorry

What about Cher’s real name..... Cherilyn

A name is more than its sound.
If Charlotte is pretty and Belle is pretty than the sound of Cheryl can't be ugly. It's not its sound that makes it unattractive.

If Charlotte is pretty and Belle is pretty than the sound of Cheryl can't be ugly.

I think it's a nice sounding name (Cheryl). Cherie isn't as nice a sound. I like the name Cherry which could be a nn

Baaaad.

Both awful, sorry!

I don’t mind Cheryl actually (with a soft sh). I like Cherry.
