Help[Opinions] Re: Merit
in reply to a message by Array
Hm, I ran across this one too, just yesterday!
Well, you and I both adore those Mer- names on boys.. and this is no exception. I like the clipped sound of it, and the frank virtue meaning. It works well on a girl, also.
Only problem that might stop me from using it (if there were no names I liked even better) is, the word "merit" is politically loaded - "merit-based hiring & admissions" being a phrase I hear tossed around a lot.
I like the sound of Merry too, though I'd probably not have people call him that till the boy was old enough to carry it with some bluster.
MNs:
Merit Valentino
Merit Dara (the star meaning?)
Merit Caspar
Merit Janus
Merit Laurence
Merit Evander
Merit Ivor
Merit Percival
Merit Leif
Merit Jude
Merit Zane

Oooh...I'm really liking Merit Janus. I love Janus and Janis both (Janus for a boy and Janis for a girl, natch), and it would make a very nifty middle name.
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm digging a lot of them--Merit Janus just stuck out at me as rocking. I think Merit Dara sounds great, too, though that'd be a combo I'd probably use on a girl, heh. :)
