I was in Target today and I heard some interesting names. A little boy named Merit and a little girl named Brielle.

What do you think? I don't really like either of them.

I don't think Merit is too bad...as long as is last name isn't Badge.

Brielle is okay, but I would never use it.

I've known girls named Brielle before. It's a pretty name, I think. I'd never use it. And I don't like Merit, especially on a boy.

I'm not too sure I like Brielle as a name on it's own, however...if it were a nn for Gabrielle, then it might not bother me as much.

Brielle doesn't bother me, but as for Merit, unless it's a name in another language, it seems pretty bad. I don't like word names usually, but especially ones like this.

If you say Merit without thinking of its meaning, I don't think its a bad name.

Brielle is nice. Merit is alright, but it just doesn't seem like a legit name to me.

I don't like Merit.. I haven't heard this used as a name before, sounds like someone is saying my name wrong, lol. I think I might like it better if it were spelled differently. Brielle.. eh, NMS, but nothing major wrong with it.. I've heard it before.

I went to school with a boy named Merit, but I think he spelled it Meritt or Merrit. There was a double letter in there somewhere. It's not a name I'd ever use, but I don't hate it.

Not terribly fond of Brielle.

I don't like Merit.

Brielle I like, but I prefer Briella.

I've only met one Brielle, a little 2 year old whom I've known since the day she was born. The name fits her, and we call her Bri for short. I like the name.


I think I knew a girl named Merit....

I think Brielle's really pretty. I go to school with a Brielle; I always liked it. I wouldn't use it, but still.

I've only seen Merit on girls so far...and I've also known a Mirrith. I liked that, too.

Brielle is ok. It looks like it's short for something, though.

Are you sure Merit isn't spelled Merritt, which is a legit name?

I hate Brielle.
