  1. Reminds me of my dad and Merritt cigarettes.

  2. We named our son Merritt and love the name. Now I’m pregnant with boy #2 and have yet to feel the same way about another name. Nothing has caught my eye that has a similar “stop” sound in the final consonant, but also the initial “m” for smoothness.

  3. We loved this name because it is masculine, and simple, but still carries a deep meaning.

  4. Merritt is a family name on Daddy’s side of the family. It started with Great Grandpa’s middle name, then Grandpa’s, and Daddy’s – they all three had the middle name of Merritt. We decided to continue the tradition but as a first name for our first born son.
