No big deal.

Would you like to be called “Sharon”?

She’d begged her parents to change her name to Buttercup and, supposedly, they told her if she lived as Buttercup for two years - teachers, coaches, friends, everyone used that name - they’d let her get it changed! I don’t know what ended up happening but it did make me smile that the parents at least allowed her to live as Buttercup. Cherry seems like a reasonable nickname for Sharon and I’d let your child use that name.

Did she get it from the princess bride??

Pp here - I assume so, but I don’t know. At the time (1991), I don’t think I’d seen that movie yet so I don’t think I made the connection.

I work with a Sherri and have never given it much thought. Cherry sounds similar.
