Hi, what do you think of Neri for a girl? I heard it the other day and like the sound...Is it short for anything?

I don't like it.

Secretlifeofme · 28/06/2018 16:00

I've never heard of Neri, but you could go for Nerissa with Neri as the shortened form?

Turmericky · 28/06/2018 16:04

I have cousins in Ameria with a daughter called Nairi (rhymes Fairy) - not sure of its meaning though.

MoreCarbsPlease · 28/06/2018 16:05

No I like nori though.

LoveInTokyo · 28/06/2018 17:48

I like it but it doesn’t sound complete.

Nerissa is lovely.

JessambardKingdomBrunel · 28/06/2018 19:03

It doesn't sound complete/finished to me.

Isn’t nori the seaweed stuff they make sushi with?

How do you pronounce Neri? Rhymes with Nelly?

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2018 21:00

It is a nice sound. Short for Marissa it would be lovely.

Nerhys is a proper name - Neri for nickname

Guardsman18 · 28/06/2018 21:02

I like it. I like Nerys though. Neri is cute and a bit different but not mad if you know what I mean? It's a really pretty name like Nansi.

applesandpears56 · 28/06/2018 21:03

Sorry Nerys - I’m rubbish at spelling!

daisydalrymple · 28/06/2018 21:05

Nerys and Nerian are two welsh girls names.

applesandpears56 · 28/06/2018 21:06

There’s also Nia or Niamh/Neeve if you like n names! Naomi has fallen out of Fashion too but is still a pretty name

eloisesparkle · 28/06/2018 21:08

Neroli ?

FogCutter · 28/06/2018 21:09

Neri sounds like a made up name to me.

I have a friend called Nyree which is a real name and I really like.

Shednik · 28/06/2018 22:11

I know a Neri short for Aneris.

Charliebob1337 · 29/06/2018 11:16

Makes me think of Nando's. Neri Neri Chicken.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 29/06/2018 15:41

Not keen sorry.

ifancyagreencard · 29/06/2018 15:43

I knew a Neri - old Welsh chap!

Toddlerteaplease · 29/06/2018 15:49

As in St Philip Neri?!

sunsetandcocktails · 29/06/2018 17:18

Interestingly it's the name of the woman Brad Pitt is apparently dating. A sign that the name is lucky for some perhaps? Wink

I like it. It reminds me of a girl in a kids show I used to watch- google 'Ocean Odyssey'/ 'Ocean Girl'

TatianaLarina · 01/07/2018 22:11

Neroli is very pretty. I love the smell!

Harebellmeadow · 05/07/2018 20:47

Nerine (flower)
Nerys (medieval welsh and beautiful)

Harebellmeadow · 05/07/2018 20:48

Oh i also loved Ocean Odessey and was a little in love with the swimming girl. Was she called Neri? Dont want to google and get stuck down a rabbit hole for an hour.
