Meredith?

Does anyone like this name? I think the nickname Merry is cute for a child, with the full name sounding sufficiently professional.

Is it a little dated though?

I love Meredith and think it is the nicest on your list

DC2018 · 10/08/2018 22:17

I love Meredith. It's a great name. I also really like Aurelia, Bryoni and Morgan. X

Cute ! It reminded me of Brave when I read it , although then realised the princess is Merida not Meridith. Lol

I don't like it at all, sorry. It just feels like a surname to me or a boy's name - which I rather like. But not for a girl. Merryn?

Pompom42 · 10/08/2018 20:59

I like it a lot. Reminds me of the singer Meredith Brooks

I really like it. It's my favourite of your list. I was put off by it being Welsh.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 10/08/2018 20:54

Meredith and Bryony are both on our list. Agree about Merry being so sweet and fun, and Meredith is happy sounding but grown up.

Therefore I assume we have similar taste - the rest of our list is:

Heidi
Alyssa
Adelaide
Gabriella
Merryn
Naomi
Rory/Aurora
Georgie
Lucy
Freya
Imogene
Zara

Although there are various styles of name there IMO!

Love it! Also love Evelyn.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 10/08/2018 20:51

Absolutely love it.
Out of your other names, I love Evelyn (I have one Grin)

ZeNextYouAreOut · 10/08/2018 20:50

I really like Meredith. I think it's elegant.

LoveInTokyo · 10/08/2018 20:48

I like it. Also like Jasmine and Bryony a lot.

Snoopychildminder · 10/08/2018 20:47

I think I like the sound of it more than the look of the spelling...I’m not sure. I should like it as I do favour more traditional names but for some reason I’m not 100%.

From your list i really like Evelyn (that was on my list)
