I enjoy the name [name_m]Mercer[/name_m], and I’ve seen quite a few people saying that it’s a surname, and they don’t like it for a person. [name_m]Or[/name_m] that they think it’s way too masculine for a girl. It reminds me of [name_m]Mercer[/name_m] [name_m]Frey[/name_m] from Skyrim, and he wasn’t a great guy, but that’s a connotation I can get over. I quite like it for a boy, and I’m looking for a few things.

It’s an interesting name [name_f][/name_f]- somehow soft and harsh at the same time?
I’m considering [name_m]Mercer[/name_m] [name_m]Reighn[/name_m], but I wonder if the combination of two names that sound rather harsh, though cool, aren’t suitable for a child?

[name_m]Mercer[/name_m] has that crisp, polished sound that fits in with occupational names like [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Tanner[/name_m], [name_m]Miller[/name_m], etc., but still feels uncommon and distinctive. I don’t think the surname aspect is a drawback, surname names are pretty established at this point, and it reads perfectly usable on a real person. And while it does lean masculine to me, it isn’t so heavy that I couldn’t imagine it on a girl if someone wanted to go that direction.

I like the bold, modern vibe of [name_m]Mercer[/name_m] [name_m]Reighn[/name_m], but I’m not crazy about the double R sound [name_f][/name_f]- ‘Mercer Reighn’ has a lot of rolling Rs, and it feels a bit harsh when said aloud.

I kind of like it for a boy! Familiarity as a surname makes it not-too-weird as a first name, yet it’s still got that unexpected flair.

I dont really have much to offer except a charachter with the name, [name_m]Ed[/name_m] [name_m]Mercer[/name_m] fron the Tv show [name_m]The[/name_m] [name_m]Orville[/name_m]. He’s the captain of a ship. Overall i think its a great name, could see a potential nickname being [name_m]Merc[/name_m] or [name_m]Merce[/name_m].
