I do... not to the degree of using it, but I like it.

It's always seemed rather clunky to me.

No, you're not the only one. I really like it too. I would be hesitant to use it though because I have an aunt with the same name (and same spelling), so it could get confusing at family get-togethers.

I like Cheryl as well. There is something about it I just like.

I agree with Jonquil that it's very dated but it doesn't seem "trashy" to me. I had a teacher named Sherri and one named Cheryl within two years of each other in grade school so it just makes me think of middle-aged grade school teachers.

I think it's horribly dated and a tiny bit trashy. It's just two meaningless syllables really. A friend is called this because her parents were Charles and Beryl.
Cheryl Marilyn - ugh.

I don't care for it that much, but it is a soft and unexpected name to see on a young child.

In the UK a popular singer and now TV presenter has the name, Cheryl Cole, and you can see how it comes across as non-frumpy on her http://www.peppermintpr.com/peppermintpost/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cheryl_cole_loreal_fall09.jpg

I have a friend named Cheryl, she's maybe sixteen. I really like it. nn Cherie

No, you're not the only person. I like Cheryl. It has such a pretty lilt.
I also like Sherry, Cherry, and Cherilyn.

Do you prefer the "Sh" or "Ch" pronunciation? I like both, but I've only ever met Cheryls who pronounce it with "Sh."
