Can’t decide, please help! Mehri or Mehreen?

[Bookworm55]

I found a variation of Mehri, a very popular name Mehreen. Which one do you prefer? I can’t make my mind up.

Mehri

I don't like the 'een' sound, makes the name seem dated

Mehri is beautiful

How do you pronounce it? Like ‘merry’?

@Hoorayhenryyah Yes but with a soft “h” sound. Meh-ri.

@Bookworm55 ah ok! Yes that’s lovely and quite unusual. Much prefer that to mehreen (reminds me of maureen)

I prefer Mehri.

Mehreen makes me think of Meereen, the city in Game of Thrones, which also unfortunately brings to mind lots of crucified people. So on that basis I'd go with Mehri.

Mehri. Mehreen reminds me of Maureen which is dated and clunky.

Mehri sounds prettier. Unfortunately "een" ending names tend to sound a bit dated in the UK now (because names like Maureen, Pauline, Christine, Eileen etc were popular in the 60's/70's).

Thanks everyone for the feedback, your opinions have been really helpful! :)

Mehri is beautiful.
I agree with pps - the other sounds like Maureen, which I don't like.

Meereen is the name of my dentist, so Mehri gets my vote.

Mehri is stunning. Mehreen makes me think of a Game of Thrones location.

Both nice but I like Mehri better.

I prefer Mehreen!

Depends on how you're saying Mehreen. It's lovely if it's pronounced properly. Does not sound like Maureen at all.

Mehri for me too, I like it.

Mehreen made me think of Meereen from GoT where the Masters crucified 100s of slave children to frighten Daenerys as she approached with her army. When Daenerys takes the city she crucifies one Master for every slave child they crucified.
