Merlin

[Moonfasa100]

I have a new colleague. I just thought that her name is so pretty and unusual. And I'd never heard of it before.

Her name is Merlin.

What do you think?

Maybe like it more as a girl's name - I met a guy called Merlin decades ago and he was like 'Ugh, yes, my parents were hippies and I hate it!' about his name.

I think of it as a boys name. A boy wizard.

That is interesting.

I have only heard of a man called Merlin.

I have heard of similar sounding names
Merle, Merlyn, Merilyn and Meryl.

And Meryn.

Sarah Paulson's character in American Gothic was called Merlynn , I think .

Merlin Griffiths, the First Dates barman, seems like a nice bloke. The name Merlin has positive connotations due to him .

DH wanted to call DS1 Merlyn - DS1 is very happy I vetoed his choice!

I do though like it for a girl though!

My first thought too

No, her name is definitely Merlin.

She is my colleague, in my team, and I've seen her name written down - on her linkedin and on her email address.

Our last tom cat was called Merlin.

I actually really like Merlin for a girl

I recently came across a female Merlyn. Love it

My colleague Merlin - looks like she may be from a south American background. Eg Peru or Colombia or somewhere.

Maybe it's more commonly used as a female name over there.

I know a little bit- Merlin!
love it
