I love it. Father in law thinks it sounds frumpy. Who's right?

I like it a lot. I think it's really pretty, but quite strong sounding.

I think is it a lovely name and it is a name that I think works just as well for a woman or a little girl.

I like it. Its a strong name and not too flouncy. Well known without being overly popular.

Also I wouldn't discuss names with relatives before your baby arrives. They will veto all your favourites and overwhelm you will opinions (but will grow to love your actual choice later on when your baby is here).

Love it, wanted to use it but got vetoed, really love both Merry and Edie as nicknames too

Love it! Frumpy would be the last thing I'd associate with it.

My friend has a little Meredith who gets called Merry for short. I think it's gorgeous and love the nickname too.

I also love it, it's just so elegant but not too pretty pretty. Meredith sounds like a girl that will go far IMO.

I love it - I know a toddler called Meredith who gets merry for short which is very sweet.

I have one of those!

When she was born my Dads first reaction to the name was 'that's a good strong name - she'll go far!'

We've never shortened it - I like it just as it is and as yet she hasn't wanted to either (but she's only 5 so there's still time!)

And yes we were/are Greys Anatomy fans!

Love it. Did you know, that it's one of those names, that started as a boys name but has become a girls name?
