  1. We love the name and its meaning. It’s not too common, but everyone knows how to pronounce and spell it. We love our Mercy! Her older brother’s name is also in the Bible – Asaph, the writer of a dozen of the Psalms.

    “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” Psalm 103:8 ESV

  2. Honestly I think my name is pretty cool because it’s unique and amazing just like me. ?

  3. It’s a nice name
