DH and I finally agree on something... what do you think?

Almost 26 weeks now and expecting a little girl. We seem to have settled on the name Meredith Emily, probably Merrie for short or Meg (as those will be her initials). I'm well aware the name Emily is very popular so wasn't keen to use it as a first name. Are there any pitfalls or openings for ridicule with this name that I haven't thought of?

Great name!

What a pretty name, and a nice choice of nicknames too.

No nightmares in store for a Meredith, Merry or Meg.
I'll say you're good to go.
It's a lovely name.

Meredith is a lovely name. I have an aunt Merrie, (short for Meriel though) who is a wonderful lady so for me has nice associations. Merrie much better spelling than Merry which is just too, well, merry.

I absolutely love Meredith Emily!! I can't believe I somehow missed such a lovely name off my list. My list is blue now anyway but I'm going to add Meredith just in case!

Another thumbs up. If in doubt about your extended family's reaction, keep quiet until she's born.

How are you going to pronounce Meredith?

The Welsh way ? Mer-EH-dith
Or the American English way? Merry-dith

I've only ever heard it pronounced MER-eh-dith, never Merry-dith but am not Welsh! I didn't realise there was any alternative pronunciation! Definitely keeping quiet til she's born and named :-)

I think it's lovely

Lovely. Meg is v cute nn.

Absolutely love it! And Merrie is a gorgeous nickname.
