Merryn

[kate1296]

What's your thoughts on this name for my baby girl due any day now!

I love it, I am biased, it is the bane of one of my best friends ever. It’s a lovely name regardless, it’s Cornish and means “joyful”. (My friend’s family were from St Merryn in Cornwall). I also know a couple of Merriels.

Would have been ok if not for Meryn Trant

It's okay. I prefer your other idea Bonnie though.

Beautiful name

Love it!

But merrilyn is terrbile

Oh, is it a game of thrones name?

Well then, I don't knwo.

My first though was that it's an anglicised version of the Irish name Muireann.

It's lovely, sweet on a little girl but grown-up enough for a woman.

It's a Cornish name, and as Cornish is a Celtic language, I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the Irish Muireann @midsomermurderess

I like it.

It's a lovely name

Yes - there's a well-known financial journalist called Merryn, for instance.

@HamAndPineapple Yes meryn on thrones was a violent paedophile who eventually had an extremely graphic and bloody death, stabbed in both eyes etc. So I wouldn’t personally use it.

We have a Merryn, everyone says what a lovely name it is.

Lovely.

Not so keen on Bonnie.
