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?

Reminds me of Meredith from The Office (US) and.. ew lol. That aside I love the older names like Meredith, Maybel etc.

I love it.

Love it. Pregnant with a boy - but if we have a girl next, she will be Meredith!

I like it - there are so many twee names around these days, it's nice to hear one that will be as suitable for an adult as a child.

Nope nope nope shut this thread down!

Meredith has been my number one baby name for years. I'm within a year or two of having my first child. Don't go talking about it and making it popular before I get the chance to use it!

We have a Meredith nn Merry. She's only met one other. Like that fact that it wasn't very common (She's now 11). Also didn't realise the Grey's connection at the time- her friends have never seen it so doesn't cause any issues :)

We know a Meredith too, hearing other small children try to say it is hilarious! I think it's lovely, and yes definitely rare.

Grey's wouldn't put me off, it's not like the character is evil or anything like that.

I love this name.

I like the name, I did open this thread thinking that it was about Greys Anatomy though!

Already mentioned by another but sadly my first thought was the very sad story of Meredith Kercher in Italy.

MonaChopsis · 08/10/2017 08:22

I love it, wanted to use it for DD but ex H vetoed. I would also have used Meri/Merry as a nickname. Use and enjoy! Meredith Lillian sounds beautiful.

It's lovely.
