A female given name originating as a coinage.
Cheryl is a woman of few interests: she will be watching TV or she'll be out shopping. "Cheryl" is a soft, round, pleasant name. "Cheryl" sounds like a person who listens to classic rock, irons aprons and plays bunko. In fact, she's not an aunt at all. She's a glorified housekeeper.
