I think I've only encountered it on this forum, on some rare occasions. But I find it very masculine. I don't really know what to make of it honestly... Since I have started writing this I have kept pronouncing it in my head and as I am getting more used to it I find it prettier, but I still can't say I love it.
When I pronounce it in French I imagine a little boy from the Middle Ages (probably because it reminds me of Merlin), like a little page, a bit mischievous. When I say it in English I do find it more feminine, but then the spelling disturbs me. I get what you mean by liking its simplicity and restraint but in this style I much prefer names such as Nell, or Fern.

Merle Agatha - Agatha Merle would be even better
Merle Edith - They sound good together. I want to say it like a hyphenated name, almost like a version of Meredith, Merle-Edith (Merl'Edith? haha, I like that)
Merle Frances
Merle Josephine
Merle Juliet
Merle Madeleine
Merle Odette
