Help[Opinions] Re: Cheryl or Meryl?
in reply to a message by )(
I prefer Meryl, but they're both nice.
I like the sound of Meryl a little more than Cheryl. Meryl definitely seems more glamorous and maybe even a shade stuffy, and Cheryl more girl-next-door and relaxed.
I think I'd like Cheryl more, if I didn't have an impression that it's seen as a mediocre boomer name like Lisa and Brenda and Debra. I love the name Sherry, but not Cheryl so much. But also I like Meryl a lot more than I like Marie or Mary.
Cheryl reminds me of model Cheryl Tiegs (first time I heard the name was on her, in 70s TV ads etc), and of a gal I worked with for several years in Texas who was unlike Tiegs (short, olive, mother of a large family, modest lifestyle) and was a really great person. She was born in the fifties of course.
Meryl used to remind me of Streep, but my association kinda got overwritten by an association with Meryl Davis. She is now only in her thirties. I've never met a Meryl.
