Sister for Meredith?

So we have our boys name all sorted but struggling to agree on a girl's name. Our DD is called Meredith (Merry) so which of these do you think goes best?

Alexandra (Alex or possibly Lexi)
Therese (Tess or Tessa)
Caroline (Callie)
Eloise (Ellie)
Penelope (Penny)
Charlotte (Charlie)
Felicity (Flick or Fliss)

If relevant we use both the full name and nickname in everyday life.

Thank you! Smile

5madthings I also love love love Merryn, but agree that you cant have Meredith and Merryn as a sibset!! like Genevieve but DH vetoed that.

ashes yes I think you are right, will probably axe Eloise from the list for that reason.

giles I was thinking more of Elizabeth, although yes I like Samantha too!

From your list Therese or Alexandra.

Persephone (Sephy)

Lilianna (anna)
Vivienne (Vivi)
Estelle (stella)

I think Meredith and Caroline are lovely together. I also like Felicity.

I think Eloise is my least favourite from your list.

5madthings do you mind if I ask what your boys choice is?! Merryn is top of our list for a girl but we are utterly stuck for boys!!

I would also think greys anatomy though wouldn't judge for it, it's not as obvious as bill and ben or Tom and Jerry etc. Lexi is dead and Meredith does keep trying to kill herself but it wouldn't put me off the names.

Clicked on this to suggest Isadora as my DD is Isadora (nn Dora) and Meredith is top of my shortlist for baby no.2! But just seen you have a shortlist - from your list I love Penelope and Felicity! Smile

Know you have a shortlist, but I know a Meredith who has sisters Genevieve and Susannah.

Meredith is gorgeous, and I know it's not on your short list but Vivienne nn Vivi came into my mind.

I'm a massive Grey's fan, have spent wasted precious sleep time a few hours watching it on download whilst the baby is asleep and didn't connect Meredith and Alexandra (Lexi) to the show.

I'd choose Felicity from your list.

If I have another daughter I'd call her Meredith, gorgeous name. It was no.2 on my list, refused to use it as a middle for my daughter, just in case I have another (though if I have a son he can have Meredydd as middle name and like it).

mathanxiety · 12/10/2015 04:58

My first thought was Iseult.

From your list, I like (in order)
Therese (Tess or Tessa)
Charlotte but I don't like Charlie as a nn -- I like Lotte or Lottie
Penelope (Penny)

Not keen on Felicity, Eloise or Alexandra. I like Caroline but not Callie; I prefer Carrie, but Carrie and Merry would be out methinks.

Constance (it s a a grower - say it a few times Smile)
Martha
Esme
Phoebe

AnnaMarlowe · 12/10/2015 23:38

Your list has some great names.

Years ago I knew sisters called Meredith and Verity which I always thought was very pretty.
