It's one of my favorite names. My association with Streep and her age is broken because of
Meryl Davis, who is young, entirely the "wrong" age to be a
Meryl. It's an awesome name because it's not
Mary and it's not
Merrill and it's not Merel and it's not
Muriel, but it shares a little something with all of them. And even has some antique glam and gemminess from
Beryl, and some earthiness from
Cheryl. I think it'd be a great name for a little girl to have right about now.
