How would you spell this name?

For a girl, how would you spell this?

[name_f]Merit[/name_f]? [name_f]Merrit[/name_f]? [name_m]Merritt[/name_m]? [name_m]Maret[/name_m]?

Any other ways?

Personally I like [name_m]Merritt[/name_m] the best!

The only other spelling I can think of is Meritt.

3

For me, [name_f]Merrit[/name_f] > [name_m]Merritt[/name_m] > [name_f]Merit[/name_f]

I would do Merritt if I was going for the sound, but Merit if I wanted a virtue name. Between those two my preference basically depends on the day

I’d be torn between [name_m]Merritt[/name_m] and [name_f]Merit[/name_f].

The only one I’ve seen in person is [name_f]Merrit[/name_f], but it feels a bit lopsided to me (which is silly because I prefer [name_m]Elliot[/name_m] over Elliott!)

i’d go for merit, like the word !! it looks the most ‘right’ to me, simple and sleek. merritt would be my second choice - it has a different vibe, more of a unisex surname situation, with the two double letters feeling the most balanced.
