Hmnn, Ada or Merryn... Stuck!

[smorgasborgen]

I have always loved Ada but husband says it's too popular.... Came across merryn and I really like that.. And so does he.
What do you guys think?

I think Merryn is a lovely name.

I think Ada is rather dull

Merryn is nicer than Ada although I'd spell it Meryn!

I love them both.

Ada. I don't think it's dull or particularly popular.

I don't like Merryn. What about Merewyn or Meredith?

My favourite name, lovely

Merryn.

Merryn! It's lovely, but not too cutesy.

Ada is too popular? What’s the ranking? I’d be very surprised if it’s top 20. I would avoid top 10 personally but I also think that names are popular for a reason - they’re nice names!

I love Ada and dislike Merryn but if you both like Merryn I think you should use it, it’s important that you both like the name - much more important than the opinions of strangers.

Merryn

Ada! Absolutely beautiful. Not keen on the other one...plus I've never come across an ada so not sure it's that popular?!

Definitely prefer Merryn over Ada.

Ha, I remember the days when Ada was only just inside the top 2000 names and the MN consensus was that it was fugly.

It’s just outside the top 100 now. Merryn will almost certainly be rarer. But it’s not all about rarity, obviously.

I like both. The Merryn I know is a boy, though.

I'd go with Hmnn, has a ring to it

Merryn, love it.

Ada? Really terrible! Not popular surely? Ava is popular. Merryn is much nicer.

Merryn is lovely. I prefer Ida to Ada though

Never really heard Merryn, prefer Mirren!

I love Ada though, don't think it's too popular. I don't know any

Merryn is fantastic!

Thank you every one! I think he was using the excuse of him perceiving it t b popular because he doesn't really like it....
Mer-in is pretty I think and rarer.. Which I care about but no idea why!!

Merryn is fab

I'd go for Merryn.

Ada is too similar to Eva/Ava, they all blend together. Eva and Ava are deathly dull, unimaginative and overused so that's a no from me.

Although I do love Adalind, so I'd probably use that and shorten to Ada. Adelaide or Addison would be possibilities too.

Merryn is lovely! I’m not keen on Ada

Ada is a grim old lady name from early 20th century.
My Nan was an Ada.

Merryn is fresh and beautiful.
