Pronouncing this name as ''she-REE'' is the heigh of pretentiousness. It is quite clearly ''SHE-ri'', and if you want people to call your daughter ''she-REE'', you should spell it Cherie. As for the actual name, it sounds quite cutesy and girly, and it's more of a 60s cutesy and girly name at that. Not that the infantile names of the 00s are better. However, this name seems somewhat incomplete, and I don't think the parents of the now middle-ages Sheris took the time to think how well the name will suit the girl once she's out of high school. It's a pretty name, but it sounds a bit like a little girl name, and Sheryl would have sounded more mature.
