Meryl

Its not out of the question for me, I kind of like it actually and with a little persuasion, I could see myself using it for our daughter. So, what do you all think?

all i can think of is meryl streep. not necessarily a bad thing, but i'd be apprehensive of giving my child a name that would likely bring up one association over and over again.

That's funny. I think of Merill (sp?) Lynch.

Cora and Meryl would make a nice sibset. :)

I think it's pretty. I didn't think of Meryl Streep at all. Also: Merrill.

The reason I hate it is due to personal experience = ruined my fucking life.

I like Cora & Ada better, but I don't HATE Meryl. :)

I think it's ugly. But that's just me.

I love it. I like it better than Cora and Ada.

This is our beloved Auntie Meryl's name! So I love it. She pronounces it like "merl" not "mer-ul" like Meryl Streep. Either way, it's fabulous.

I actually REALLY like it! :)

I think it's too old fashion for my tastes.

Sorry, I kind of hate Meryl. I like Beryl, though.

I think it's kind of really ugly, sorry.

I agree with lustdumper, I associate it with Meryl Streep. But I think Beryl is a refreshing version.

I think it could be really pretty. I do automatically think of Meryl Streep, so that makes it seem a little old to me, but it is a nice name.

I'd like it if there weren't "y"s in it.

not a huge fan, but its not that bad. just not my style, i guess.

ada is still my favorite of yours. i seriously hate cora.

meryl would be my second choice, i guess.

I like it a lot. Cora comes second, and then the boring Ada definitely comes last for me.

I think its a really masculine girl's name.

Well, honestly, I hate it. It sounds old and musty to me. Just my opinion.

I thought of Meryl Streep, and I wouldn't give my child a prominent celebrity name that is identified mostly with that celebrity (e.g. Meryl, Waylon, Aaliyah, Beyonce).
