Honest thoughts on Merriwether

Looking for honest thoughts on the name Merriwether.
I saw this name the other day and can't shake it from my mind. Would consider using this for a little girl in the future.

I would consider it no more than I would consider "Pennyfeather" for a name (which I wouldn't consider at all). ;-) I understand what you mean, though, I can't help but think it's kind of cute...but then it also brings to mind weather reports...and it seems a little last name-ish to me. And the "wether" part looks misspelled to me...not that I'm saying it is, but it just looks it. lol...kind of like how "anyways" doesn't seem like it's a real word... ;-)
While I think it's a little too avantgarde as a fn, I might consider it more for a mn.
well, best of luck to you! :-)
I don't care for it. Kids can be cruel and I can only imagine the teasing that a young Merriwether would have to endure. BTW, my sister's name is Meredith, nn Merry, and she's had to endure all kinds of jokes about Christmas.
For me I just think of the fairy on Sleeping Beauty.

If you like this why not Meredith or, my favorite, Mary. Mary is so beautiful & underused. Possibly use Mary Heather as a double fn or as a fn & mn & call her by both. Pretty much the same sound, but a more *sensible* name.
I really really like it, but as you can see by the other responses on the board, you will not get a good reaction from some people. Not that you should choose a boring and common name just because everyone else is! But if public opinion bothers you, you might want to consider using it as a mn.
But I think it's nice!
Good luck...

Honestly, it's nms, but if it has special significance to you, it would make a nice, yet unusual middle name.
JMHO!
