Re: meaning of Merrick
I've never heard "Merrick" used as a first name, but to me it has male associations: David Merrick (actor) and John Merrick (Elephant Dude). On the other hand, my son used to date a lovely young lady first-named Merritt, which is similar and sounded good.

IMHO- Merrick should be a man's name.

my first name is Merrick. i'm also male. Merritt is not really that close to my name, sorry. it has a completely different meaning. try looking on a baby name meaning site and find out.
