Your name of Merrite gives you independence and determination. You have a respect for all living things and could have a keen interest in biology or working with animals. Yet, when others get to know you, they realize you are loyal in your friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. Unfortunately, it is a challenge for you to express tenderness to others. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and therefore can be depended upon for assistance. Your name often makes you feel separate and alone. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or work for someone who realizes your strengths. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy.
