We loved Edith for a little girl but close friends have recently used it. We've been thinking about Meredith instead - with either Edie or Meri as a nickname and I'd love to know what people think?

Thank you again everyone for your responses. You've made me feel much better after a pretty shitty couple of days.

Have one so biased, have always loved it! She is the only one we know.

HildaOgdensFlyingDucks · 14/11/2018 19:05

Gorgeous

Very nice. Having Merry/ Meri as a NN can only be good thing!

Alaaya · 14/11/2018 16:44

Love it. It was on our list but DH vetoed.

Meredith is a lovely name, much better than Edith.

thegreylady · 14/11/2018 16:38

Lovely name with some gorgeous shortenings. One of the nicest I have seen on here!

Ohyesiam · 14/11/2018 16:35

Bloody auto, Meri

Ohyesiam · 14/11/2018 16:34

Lovely name, especially with an Australian accent for some reason!
Merit is a lovely shortening.

Thanks everyone. Husband spent a lot of his childhood in Wales although not Welsh herritage so it feels apt.

Lovely name, it was my first choice for DD but I couldn't use it because I live in Wales.

Ignore all the 'only use it if you're Welsh' stuff up thread, it's a boy's name here. Use it and delight in your little girl's gorgeous name!!

SemperIdem · 14/11/2018 15:55

It’s lovely, and I tend not to like anglicised Welsh names.

hoping2018 · 14/11/2018 15:04

Lovely name - are you Welsh? I would only use if Welsh heritage.

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/11/2018 14:17

Love it ! Meredith is nicer than Edith imo, and Edie is a great nn

ChaosMoon · 14/11/2018 12:59

Absolutely love it. Will you be pronouncing it the American way out the Welsh way?

BlueChampagne · 14/11/2018 12:51

Love it too. Red is also a possible nickname.

SavageBeauty73 · 14/11/2018 08:12

Prefer it to Edith (my granny's name!)

MadisonAvenue · 14/11/2018 08:02

Love it!

Cbeebiesrehab · 14/11/2018 08:00

Love Meredith and think Merri is adorable. I think Meredith is far nicer than Edith!
