Help[Opinions] Re: Merilee
in reply to a message by Billina
I prefer Meredith and even Merilees (which I've seen on a presenter on the
Travel Channel, I think). Merrily would be supremely silly as a name, and then there's Ariel's song: Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. Not to my taste at all.

I remember talking to a customer named Merrily at my former job, so it's been used, and I think the use is not confined to only a very few, although I'm sure not to the extent that you could call it at all frequent, either. I'm just mentioning it because your use of the words "would be" seems to imply that it isn't used.

I wish! Just about anything that can possibly be used, gets used. For instance, Zimbabwean parents are distressingly original in their naming - a couple of weeks ago I spotted an adult male, making a statement to the media so clearly a person of some stature, whose given name is Psychology. Makes Merrily (and even Gloomily) seem positively mainstream.
