Merit is a Scandinavian variant of Margaret / Marit. It means "pearl." So I like Merit for a girl and Merritt (a surname) for a boy.

Since it is (obviously) also a word I would avoid a middle name that is also a word (or sounds like one in English). How about:

Merit Olivia
Merit Rhiannon
Merit Calliope -- ("kah-LIE-uh-pee")
Merit Evelyn
Merit Hollis -- holly trees
Merit Lilith
Merit Rachel
Merit Niamh / Neve -- (both "neev") Irish folklore char.
Merit Louisa
Merit Audrey
Merit Katrina
Merit Estelle
Merit Briallen -- ("bree-AL-en") primrose in Welsh

Like any? Thanks for any feedback and good luck! :0)

It's not my poll, but I just had to weigh in and say I think the suggestion of Merrit Briallen is stunning. Merit Rhiannon is very nice, too.

I also would choose the spelling Merit for the sake reasons that FredaCat pointed out.
