Please, can we stop disparaging names and demonstrating ageist attitudes by denigrating certain names and thereby showing ageist prejudice with banal remarks like "Very old lady sounding"! In these Woke times this is a curious prejudice. Especially when voiced by women!

This name travels deep in my family. My great great grandfather was a Beryl from Troms Norway, he had a junior but the junior didn't have a son but a daughter, my grandmother, who was named Glendolyn Beryl Brooks, who then named my father Beryl Brooks Ivar as the first born. I am Amberle Brooke (a play on the name phonetically; Amber also a semi precious jewel and the female protagonist of the Shannara fantasy book series) and my brother was a Michael Beryl Brooks. I love the unisex usage, especially throughout the decades, not just a trendy use of names like Madison, Riley, or Kendal.

Not a favourite of mine but I can't understand why so many people hate it. Perhaps that's because so many people are reminded of "barrel" - why this should be is puzzling as the name is pronounced beh-ril. If Ruby can achieve popularity why can't Beryl, of similar vintage and also a jewel name? It's much prettier than Ruby IMHO.

I think Beryl is a nice name, and I can really see it on a little girl under 5, and as an old name as well. But it is relatively unheard of nowadays, which is a real shame, because I think it would really suit a young child. :)

It sounds hopelessly old-fashioned, like the name of a grandmother, or some middle-aged woman who dresses in worn-out, loose-fitting clothes and wears ugly glasses from the 70s. Sheryl at least sounds pretty. Even Meryl is better.
