I was about 20 minutes away from being Merlin Waylon XXXXXXX, but my parents chickened out at the last minute. I was relieved up until about 8th grade, knowing that going through elementary school named "Merlin" would have been f'n dreadful, but about 9th grade I realized I woulda rawked the fuck outta Merlin.

I was almost Aladdin. My dad said no.

Still pretty miffed at my dad.

Merlin would be difficult for anyone to pull off but I think you could have, maybe done so. I've never met a Merlin and it's hard to envision a "young" Merlin. You may have ended up Merl.
