I hate it. I think it's so ugly. I feel sorry for
Meryl Streep that she has this name. Her name is really
Mary Louise. I assume that
Meryl, in her case, is some kind of mash-up of
Mary and
Louise, but I was unable to find any verification of that. Of course, she could have changed it, so I guess she doesn't mind it. But I think it's horrible.
In the days of early Hollywood, I'm sure that the first thing wanna-be movie actress
Meryl Streep would have been told is that she'd have to change her name, both first and last.
