I think this name is really modern and unique, and not just because it's my own. It is for sure a unisex name, and I would 100% name my child this. I would be a great parent.

I love this name, personally. I think it's beautiful and unique. It's unisex, in my opinion. I really love the meaning. I think it would be an especially cute name for a Boy/Girl Scout's kid.
God bless.

I like it visually and aurally. Unfortunately, it was the brand of cigarettes my father smoked when I was a child, so I can't disconnect it from that. I don't think they even make them anymore, so it probably wouldn't be an association for very many people these days. I'm sure if I knew someone named Merit well, it would replace that connotation.

If you named your child this, he would probably get all the Merit points in school and have a girlfriend called Scholastica. Totally pompous.
