What do people think of this name and how would you pronounce it?
Thanks

Mer-lee? I've never heard it before. I don't love it but don't hate it either. Not much use. Sorry!

I would pronounce it just as it’s spelt. Merl-ee. Is it for a boy or a girl?

I would think it was a girls nickname for Meryl maybe?

Not that keen. It reminds me of Merle. Marlie or Marla are much nicer but if a similar vein.

It's cute. I'd assume it was pronounced Mur-lee but would probably mistake it for Merlin the first couple of times you said it.

I went to school with a Sri Lankan girl called Merrley, pronounced Mer-lee, with the Mer like in Merlin.
