Lucy

Merryn . Bottom would be Lucy / Merla

Another beautiful name is Merrell or Meryl. But out of your list I love Merryn.

Merryn or Louisa

Louisa or Merryn

Louisa is lovely and would be my choice - classic but not overused. Meriel is very unusual but quite pretty and would be my 2nd choice. Merryn is okay and would be my third. Louise feels a bit dated, Lucy a bit too sweet for me, and Merla too odd.

Merryn Louise is perfect. Merry is such a lovely nickname.

I love Meriel, such a pretty and unusual name. That would be my choice hands down.

What about Moira? I love that name, maybe because I know a lovely Moira!

Definitely Merryn (but I'm biased as I have a gorgeous 3 year old one!)

Louisa, or Merle

Lucy is my favourite. Louisa is nice enough, and Merryn is okay.

I love Lucy

Merryn,Louisa,Meriel.

Lucy or Merryn. Friends of ours have a Merrilyn, known as Merry.

I love Louise but others would say it's outdated.

Lucy or Louisa.

Merryn

I love Louisa and Merryn, I find Lucy very bland and Louise dated.
I've never heard of the other two.

Louisa or Merryn!

I love Merryn. I’ve never heard the name Merla before but I quite like it. Not keen on the others.

There were a couple of Meriels in the year above me at school (I am 60). It was unusual and pretty then and they were both utterly lovely and very clever. One very musical and one v artistic. I think Meriel wins hands down. Pretty, slightly unusual without being out there.

I love the name Louisa but every I've ever known has either been very wet or very bitchy.

Lucy is short for Lucinda which is another great name. Actually Lucinda autocorrected to Lucia which is great and I know some fab ones.

Louisa and Merryn are my favourites. Lucy is lovely too.

Lucy

Merryn or Meriel.
Such a refreshing change from the popular names without being made up, extra sugary or silly. Good choices. I think Meriel is the most darling.
