Help[Opinions] Merry
Does anyone like Merry as an alternative to Mary? Over the course of my years of working with the public, I've come across several women named Merry. Merry and Mary sound the same in my accent, and I imagine in many accents. However, I seem to remember hearing or reading that not everyone pronounces the word "merry" and the name Mary the same.
Since to me they sound identical, my opinion is that I prefer Merry to Mary. It's visually more interesting, and takes away some of the generic quality which I believe that Mary suffers from. But I know that there are a lot of Mary fans here, so I'm interested to see how many would prefer Mary.
If you pronounce Merry and Mary the same, which do you prefer? If you don't, and don't see Merry as an alternative to Mary, do you like Merry as a totally separate name from Mary?
