I like a lot of iffy names for actual human beings, but even I think this one is extremely risky; akin to calling a kid "Joyride" or something. But on the other hand, people's vocabularies are shrinking, so maybe they wouldn't know what "merriment" means. But it still bears too close a resemblance to "merry men" for my liking. It's an attractive word, I can see the appeal - there's something very Puritan-Beatrix Potter about it. It would be a great name for a bunny rabbit or a guinea pig.

Merri or Merry as a short form is a nice escape hatch at least. In terms of merry- names, Merrily is my favourite, it's so cheery.
