Meredith?

[weebarra]

For DC3 if it's a girl. I work with the public in education and it's one of the few names I've never come across. Opinions please?

Meredith is my favourite girls name. It is a lovely name.

It's a lovely name. Welsh, isn't it?

Sounds like a witch's name. Also think of that girl who was murdered in Italy. Sorry, I think I'm not keen....

Vile, sorry

The Mere- bit is ok but the -dith is clunky and harsh-sounding. Much prefer Merryn.

Love it. Just added it to my list!

It's lovely

I know a little Meredith - her father is Welsh. She is lovely & it is a lovely name.

Lovely, Merryn and Merrie also gorgeous.

I like it. And Merry for short is nice too.

Lovely name

I have one. It seemed like a huge name for a baby but she grew into it once she developed her own attitude personality.

The only thing that annoys me a touch is that lots of people think she's called 'Mary', as she's generally known at Merry - unless she's in trouble. But this won't matter once she starts school and her friends and teachers realise she's actually a Meredith. I will only use Meredith when I talk to teachers about her to make sure it sticks.

She was born after Meredith Kercher was killed and I did mull it over as to whether I still wanted to use the name, but it felt wrong (and a shame) to not use it because of that.

Love it! One of my favourites.

Love it

Great name, I love it. Was on our shortlist for DD3 but our surname is so long we decided to go for something shorter.

Just suggested it on another thread in fact.

Lovely name.

Very lovely.

I love it too.

I like it, especially with nickname Merry.
