I also prefer the Meryl spelling because Merrill Lynch comes to mind with the other spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1382209 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 16:03:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1382209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan. I do, however, know a male Meryl. He is in his 60s or so though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1382205 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 16:01:09 +0000 Mommy Finger 1382205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Meryl and a Merrill.

I think it's a variation on Muriel, which I would put more in the classic category. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380880 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 10:25:26 +0000 merriment 1380880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend named Meryl and I never connected her name with Meryl Streep until reading this post!<br /> I love the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380796 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 10:09:05 +0000 artsyfartsy 1380796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: +1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380756 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 10:00:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1380756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it. I really love all the classics. Although I think it is associated with Meryl Streep - I like her and she isn't someone that I would hate for a daughter to be associated with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380741 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:57:46 +0000 kjpugs 1380741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: oh I'm a big fan of the hair.

I hear you! I didn't think so while watching clips of them skating - I wasn't down with the hair...but once they showed them sitting down and talking I definitely changed my tune! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380721 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:52:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1380721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not my personal taste, but i think it's pretty, esp "merrill" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380712 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:50:26 +0000 kjpugs 1380712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: and plus Charlie was NOT SO HARD ON THE EYES.

I don't like Merrill though because I work in Financial Services and it would make me think of Merrill Lynch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380685 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:44:34 +0000 Running Elley 1380685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Yay :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380678 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:43:29 +0000 kjpugs 1380678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: sort of.. .I'll wall you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380677 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:42:55 +0000 Running Elley 1380677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Silly DHs...always throwing a wrench in with the cute names!! Now I'm really curious about your other name- is it unique like E's? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380676 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:42:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1380676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Meryl my age (so early 30s) and I never thought it was too much like Meryl Streep. I think it's a lovely name, though it isn't totally my style. I think it goes along well with the overall trend of older, great-grandmother names that are popular right now. (My LO falls into that trend-- her name peaked in 1880). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380670 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:41:19 +0000 kjpugs 1380670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: AWWW thanks! I know right!? I just said to DH "I have a girl's name that I like that I think you would hate" "What is it?" "Meryl." "NOPE." Aaaaaaaaas expected!</p> <p>We have a pretty firm (well, to me) girl's name though that is made up of family names too- we shall see if we have another girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380658 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:38:25 +0000 pui 1380658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380653 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:37:13 +0000 Running Elley 1380653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a gorgeous name!!!<br /> @kjpugs: Too bad it's off the table for you because I think it would go adorably with your E's name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380571 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:11:30 +0000 kjpugs 1380571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: yes! I didn't see how she spelled it though. PS- was it just me wondering if Meryl/Charlie ever explored dating?!?!? Like you're both attractive and skate together... you had to have considered it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380560 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:07:39 +0000 theotherstark 1380560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have a relative (female, in her 20s) named Meryl.

The figure skater? I like it! Merrill a lot more than Meryl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380550 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:01:53 +0000 kjpugs 1380550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @mamimami: that is a beautiful spelling! I like that it differentiates from "the" Meryl, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380547 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:00:44 +0000 mamimami 1380547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Merrill... like Merrill Ashley, the famous ballet dancer! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380544 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 08:59:03 +0000 septca 1380544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend named Merrill and I never connected it to Meryl Streep.

I have a hard time picturing a baby girl or a young girl as a *Meryl*, but as she gets older, it seems to be more and more fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-girls-name#post-1380514 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 08:47:43 +0000 looch 1380514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a name that grows up well. I can picture an adult with it more than I can a baby. </p>
