Help[Facts] Meanings for Merrick, Sirius and Daley. Anyone?
First off, does anyone know the meaning of the name Daley? I think that it's derived from an Irish surname or is related to Dale , somehow. As it is one of those surname names (it's just not as trendy as the rest!), I can't say it's gender. And if anyone knows the meaning of Merrick , can you share with me too? Merrick is an other one of those surnames which are becoming first names. I'm guessing it's a boys name but I can't be sure. Lastly, the origin of Sirius. It's a boys name, possibly of Greek descendant, as it's a name for some astrological thing. The exact thing has escaped my mind! Oh, and by the way, do you prefer Sasha (/Sacha ) as an independant name or as a nick name for Alexandra ?
All help is appreciated and thank you!

"Daley" is an Irish surname meaning "meeting place".
"Merrick " you've probably noticed by now is already on the site. Too bad those blue hotlinks don't crop up *before* we post! LOL! :)
"Sirius" comes from the Greek and means "sparkling" or "sorching". This name for the Dog Star first appeared in the writings of Hesiod, but it has also been applied as another name for the sun.
I think that both "Sasha " and "Sacha " stand on their own quite well as independent names. "Sasha " has been a Yiddish equivalent of the name "Alexandra " for generations, in fact.

I noticed Merrick was here *after* I posted but when I followed the link to Maurice - I didn't follow it through to Maurus. Sorry for the little time wasting on that one! Thanks for answering, Nanaea :)
