A famous bearer of the name is actress Merle Oberon, a glamorous beauty who rose to fame in both British-made and Hollywood-made films of the 1930's. She was married to legendary British film producer Alexander Korda, and her most famous role was that of Cathy in producer Samuel Goldwyn's sumptuous 1939 adaptation of "Wuthering Heights", opposite Laurence Olivier. Her real name, however, was Queenie Thompson.

I love this name, mostly for the meaning of "blackbird." The other names that share this meaning are too odd sounding for my taste or in the case of "Merlin" the meaning is obscured by the famous bearer. "Merle" however, has a nice ring to it and also in a small way reminds me of merpeople too, thanks to the first three letters and the name's pronunciation.
