I think it could be worse. One of my totally guilty pleasure names is
Cherry, so the general sound of it doesn't bug me. I think it's about a million times better than
Treasure or
Precious, too, so when I consider the alternatives it just makes it seem that much better. :-)
Similarly, I went to school with a girl named Cherith. The name isn't related (or lisped :-) ) at all, but that was always what it reminded me of. My barest attempt at finding out what Cherith might mean, by the way, yielded this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherith. Kind of interesting, I thought.
