Meredith

[stevensupersquirrel]

Meredith is the only name that dh and I both like so far.
I like the fact that it isn't too popular but am
surprised quite how far down it is on the ons list.
What are people's opinions please?

I like it. Edie is another option for shortening

I love it, but my surname starts with an M so avoided the alliteration.

Lovely name

I only know one Meredith and he's male.

It's always struck me as a female name for some reason though.

So I like it but only for a girl.

I love it. I'm generally quite against Welsh male name so being used for girls e.g. Bryn.

However Meredith (angliscised and generally female name) is pronounced differently to Meredydd (traditional Welsh, male name) so it slips under my radar in a way other similar names don't

I love it!

Originally a Welsh name for boys, it's also been a girls name (pronounced differently) for almost a century. In the England and Wales list it has either only been used for girls since 1996 or has been given to fewer than 3 boys per year.

It’s really pretty. Does make me think of greys anatomy but I’d class that as a positive personally

For a boy or girl?

Is it for a boy or a girl?

I really like it!

Greys anatomy!
She gets ‘Mer’ for short though. I like it! But it definitely makes me think of Meredith Grey first and foremost

Oh I should have said - it would be for a girl.
We still have a boys name that we didn't use last time.
I've never seen Grey's Anatomy, so I didn't know that connection.

I like this name I think it sounds pretty

It's ok. I like th nn Merry more than I like the full version.

Beautiful name :-)

If you love it, go for it!

I love it, but unfortunately DH hates it because of Grey's Anatomy. Personally, I think if a real life person survived all Meredith Grey has, and was still standing and working at the end of it, they'd be a hero.

You should watch it, it’ll destroy your life but it’s also pretty amazing.

Yup love it.

Meredith was number 1 on my list for a long time. I love that its not too popular. I like all the nickname potentials from it. Also Meredith sounds like a strong, adventurous girl to me.

Didn't know it was welsh! That makes me like it more.
Here in the US it's a name like Brenda, Miriam, Pamela, or Susan.

I like Meredith but prefer on a boy (assuming your thinking girl)

Love it, nn merry.

It's nice to hear that it's well liked here. I wonder why it isn't more commonly used?
For nn is the spelling Meri/ Merry better?
Does it sound nice with the middle name Lillian?

Gorgeous name

I love it. Never heard of it until Grey's Anatomy, but think it's beautiful and am considering it for any possible future daughter.
