HelpMeryl
It's my middle name. I've always thought of it as frumpy and dated, like something that would have had a short burst of popularity in the forties. I'm sixteen, so that's not a positive for me.
What do you think of the name? My mom loves it, but then again, she was raised in the forties. It's to honor her father Meyer.

I used to hate the name Meryl but it's gradually grown on me. It reminds me of Meredith which i think is a really cool name, and it also makes me think of Meryl Streep (whose real name is Mary Louise), who I think is a really good actress.

One of my absolute favorites. I considered it seriously for my daughter, and I would again if I had another daughter. I love the letters and the sound - so bright, lilting, and tidy. *sigh*
I've heard of a Meryl who is a young woman - I think she was a competitive ice skater? - and I think it is very appealing on a young person, not frumpy at all. The only other Meryl I've heard of is Streep, and she's one of the most graceful old women around IMO.

Not sure
I am first reminded of Merle, Beryl and Cheryl and I cannot stand those three. Meryl Streep is a good association as I think she's a wicked actress.
I also find the name a bit frumpy too. I really dislike Muriel (and Mariel) but I think I prefer those.
One bonus, I think Merry would be charming from Meryl.

I'm not really a fan of it. For some reason I find it almost very pretty, but instead kind of awkward to pronounce. I met a Meryl recently who is 19 and it through me off because before I'd only thought of it as a name for an older woman.

It does have a little bit of frump to it, but it's more the sweet kind of frump.

I think it's really pretty, actually. An awesome middle name.
