What do you think of the boys name Merrion? It’s like [name_u]Marion[/name_u], but… merrier!
[name_m]How[/name_m] would you spell it? Merrion, Merian, Merien?
Did I make this name up? I could have sworn I’d heard it before, but got no hits when I searched nameberry?
Can you suggest some other ‘merry’ names for me? For a boy or girl.
I love:
Emeric, Meriadoc, [name_m]Merrick[/name_m]
Merewen, [name_f]Merida[/name_f], [name_f]Merrily[/name_f], [name_f]Merryn[/name_f]
Thank you!
I’ve never seen Merrion before. It does seem familiar but probably because my grandmothers name is [name_u]Marion[/name_u] and then there is the Merriam-Websters Dictionary and Thesaurus. I know that [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is unisex but to me it’s all female because of my Grandmother. So Merrion seems feminine to me also. I feel like it’s made up, but is still familiar enough to be used. I prefer the Merion/Merian spelling of those.
I’ve met a [name_f]Merrilee[/name_f] spelled this way.
Merren
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]/Merriam/[name_f]Meriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Meribel[/name_f]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
Almera/[name_f]Mera[/name_f]
Meralda
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Merielle[/name_f]
Possibly Boy…
[name_u]Merle[/name_u]/[name_f]Meryl[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f]
[name_u]Mercer[/name_u]
I don’t have any suggestions right now, but I can assure you that Merrion isn’t made up. It’s the Welsh form of Meirion, which comes from [name_m]Marius[/name_m]. Although, many people would probably mistake little Merrion for a girl…how sad.
I agree with others that it’s too much like [name_u]Marion[/name_u] (which is strongly associated with the female sex), but I love [name_m]Marius[/name_m]! Would that work instead?
It’s spelt Meirion 
It’s nice and Welsh and I really like it.
Merit is my favourite ‘merry’ girl’s name.
It sounds very feminine.
Yes Meirion that must be what I was thinking of! I lived in [name_m]Wales[/name_m] for around 5 years so I must have heard it there 
It is a lovely name I’ll be adding it to my list
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions, I really appreciate it!
Like Portmeirion! It’s all coming to me now!
