Re: Merry
in reply to a message by Billina
Not nearly as good as Mary. If it were just another spelling of Mary and wasn't actually an English word, I'd like it better. As it is, the word is so shallow ... it's a fluff name like Happy, only riding on the coattail of one of the most substantial names in the universe (Mary) because it sounds so similar. So it's better than Happy. Yet not. I think Merry is okay as a nickname for Meredith or Meriwether or something, but I don't really like it.
