NextdoorNeighbourIsATwat · 13/12/2019 23:05

First thing that came into my head was the priest from The Exorcist.

Probably not most people's association though!

Whathewhatnow · 13/12/2019 23:06

Very nice Smile

Whathewhatnow · 13/12/2019 23:07

You might end up calling her Merry though. Which is live by different

Spacebowlisback · 13/12/2019 23:08

It’s gorgeous. We were put off by her being called Erin every time she introduced herself (“Hi, I’m Merryn) but it’s just lovely.

ilovemykids5 · 14/12/2019 01:14

Lovely

MyNewBearTotoro · 14/12/2019 01:15

I really like it. It was on my shortlist for DTs.

Hi m, sorry don’t like merryn or bonnie!

BarkandCheese · 14/12/2019 08:10

I really like Merryn, not keen on Bonnie.

diddlediddle · 14/12/2019 08:34

I would think it was a boys name but I don't dislike it

KatherineJaneway · 14/12/2019 08:38

I like it

KittyMarmalade · 14/12/2019 09:00

Anyone who knows north Cornwall will make the St Merryn association (no bad thing). Anyone who doesn't will ask you to repeat it!

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 14/12/2019 09:02

Lovely. It was my favourite girls name for a few years, until GoT ruined it for me...

putputput · 14/12/2019 09:04

Best name ever, biased as I have a two year old one!
Have received so much positive feedback from it. Only met two others, both adults. We haven't ever called her Merry.
