Looking for something with ocean/sea/cornish roots.

Is Merryn getting too popular?

Elowen = pronounced El-OH-en,

Lowen - prefer this to Lowenna but OH not sure

Verran - too out there?

Carenza (prefer this spelling like the archaeologist)

I am just a little bit biased because I have a Merryn, but definitely my favourite girl's name and we've received very positive reactions from other people.

It has consistently been given to between 30-40 babies a year since the early 2000s, peaking at 44 babies in 2022 and 23. So it isn't particularly popular 🙃
