Overwhelming dated and too tied to a certain individual. Bland and boring.

Too Streep.

Better than Merle, but not good.

It's...
-much nicer sounding than Beryl
-the same age and level of pleasant as Cheryl
-not as fun to say as Merle

Aha, there's one of those names that I like, that're in a style I see as a forerunner to the style of Aerolynn (a thread above this one).

I love it and don't associate it with Streep at all. It doesn't suit Streep. It's not even her real name!

---

I don't even associate it with Meryl Davis, very much - mostly I'm just grateful to her for being a little famous and counteracting the Streep association with her name.

---

Meryl sounds just like the surname Merrill in my accent. If not for that, I'd probably think it was too dated a style - too much like Cheryl.

---

I think if I were considering using it, I'd go with spelling it Merel. To get rid of the Cheryl and Streep associations.

Though I love Meryl Streep to bits, I'm not sure about the name itself. It's not bad but it's a little too old-fashioned.

I've always thought it's really ugly.

sorry dont like it
