Re: Merry
in reply to a message by queenv
I don't pronounce Merry the same as Mary. I didn't know anyone did...
I love Merry as a name and I don't really see at as an alternative to Mary. Those two names are so different to me!
Merry is both masculine and feminine to me because of Merry (Meriadoc) from The Lord of the Rings, and there was a girl in my class at highschool who was Merryn nn Merry.
There's also a Merryweather nn Merry in Over Sea, Under Stone.
So, I really like it on a boy or girl. I like it as a nickname as something like Merryn or Merryweather, but it's actually kind of nice on its own too.
It'd make a good name for a Christmas baby ^_^
