Maris

[Figuringitout]

Does the name Maris (meaning of the sea) just make you think of a potato? I’m putting together a list and I really like this name, and the meaning, but wondering if it’s too much of a root vegetable name!

Makes me think of Frasier!

Very much makes me think of Frasier

The first thing that came into my head was "piper". Sorry!

Not directly but i dont like the sound. Thats just my personal opinion though

Your surname isn’t piper is it. If you choose this name be prepared for your child to have the nickname spud. Kids can be evil.

Yes, I wouid think potato (sorry)

But I think I'd get used to it as a persons name too

I thought potato before I opened the thread, sorry

Potato, definitely

Great for roasting or mashing.

I'm sorry but I immediately thought "Piper"

No not potato. Frasier.

Potato. Sorry

Frasier here too

Shame as it's a lovely name. How about Mari or Marisa/Marissa? Carys? Paris...

I thought Piper too.

I thought of Frasier. What about Carys?

I quite like it as a sound.

I live near Maris Lane which the Maris Piper is named after, so I don't think of it as only potatoey iyswim. (It is the location of Waitrose! )

Frasier killed it for me

I didn’t watch Frasier, so hadn’t known a connection there. DH is firmly in the potato camp!! Oh well, I quite like Meris, (but maybe it sounds too ‘made up’) and Marnie - although with a northern family being called ‘Our Marnie / Armani might be an issue!
Still, it could be a boy!!

Yep! Sorry me too first thing that entered my head was Maris piper!

How about Meriel? Think it means shining sea?

Or Merryn?
Meri is lovely - Latin name meaning sea

I immediately thought 'Piper'.

I know someone named this, same meaning, but they spell it Meris - no potato connotations . Lovely name.
