*on an unrelated note my dad wanted to name me Sundae Autumn (My last name is Knight). I was born monday, winter. Also. I never understood why Sundae and not Sunday... specifically wanted the food spelling.
~A. Knight
Boldly go.
Elphaba o:
Helen and Sarah are actually two of my favourite girl names. I have only ever met one of each, and they have both been here at university haha.
Veronica Mertens has a fabulous ring to it.
On that note, Valencia Mertens is fantastic too. I think a V - M combo is awesome. But that's just me, I love names that begin with V. It's an elegent letter.
If you want something simpler, Charlotte is fantastic. One of my favorite names. Kaleigh is nice too, that can be spelt with a C too. Cute little Irish name.
Alice is nice too. Not too common, but not too weird. Emmeline as well.
Please don't use too common of a name! I like my name, Jessica, but it's so common and there's always 800 other girls with it.
Also... I think Dolores is a beautiful name. It's a great temptation of a name, but it'd be kind of dick to name a child after a book about a child molestor, I suppose.
EDIT: Come to think of it, Valenica Alice Mertens has the perfect ring to it. But that's just me.

It is my personal opinion that, if you were to use the name Sarah, it should be spelt Saira instead.
I'm being objective here, I'm not in any kind of state to be looking at that name subjectively right now. I think it is a less common way to spell a name I have loved forever. That is all.
I doubt the contest will end up having the last word, though! xD If Melissaur doesn't 100% agree with the name(s) chosen, I'd say it's still up to her to choose not to use it!
I like names that are uncommon enough to be personal, but not so uncommon as to be odd or a cause for prejudice about its owner. I like Rye's VM combination, it makes for pretty elegant names like she says. MM, like your own name, has a bit of a storybook character to it (like a main character from a Roald Dahl book ).
Amanda, Norah, Veronica, Nicole, Joanna, Vanessa and Melanie are a few names I think goes well with Mertens, but I think I found my flagship: Valerie Mertens! I love the sound of that, it's my main suggestion. :]
I think Elizabeth is a beautiful girls name & if I ever have a daughter I hope to call her Elizabeth. Its a suggestion anyway!
Wow. I wasn't expecting this much stuff! It's wonderful! Thank you all for the help. I am liking some of these names.
Ali Mertens sounds nice to me! So, Alice, Alex..? Things like those maybe. I hope you find something you really like xx
Rebecca Mertens too! Rebecca's always a lovely name. Do you want something mainstream or unusual?
