[Opinions] Re: Merrow?
in reply to a message by Joiya
I remember we had a post about Merrow a while back and it didn't go over well. Most people thought of marrow.
The marrow thing doesn't bother me personally, but the name itself just overall doesn't hold my attention. It's just one of those generic surnames. I wouldn't want to be named Merrow -- it would be hard to explain because the word is familiar in many ways (merry, meadow, marrow, etc.), yet no one has ever heard the name Merrow itself. Different, but not memorable.
