Which is everyone’s favourite? We have a 1 syllable surname and no idea on middle names yet so open to suggestions

Sylvie
Meredith
Theodora
Iris

Thanks :)

Thanks so much for all the opinions! And I love some of the middle name suggestions too. Does anyone know any Merediths and if so, what do they get called for short? I love Dora as a shortening for Theodora but we’re not sure what to go for with Meredith 🤔

Meredith can be shortened to Merry, Edith, Edie, Mimi (Meemee) and probably a few other names too.

Madeline18 · 08/04/2018 10:46

Theodora and Iris are both lovely

The Meredith I know doesn't get shortened. It's not a given.

Sylvie first
then Theodora
then Meredith
not keen on Iris

DanceDisaster · 08/04/2018 12:23

Theodora. Love it!

Not keen on Sylvie in a British accent, so depends where you live. I used to love Iris but I’ve gone off it lately. It’s a bit harsh sounding maybe.

Meredith is nice and would be my second choice off your list. I like the nns Merry and Red.

VioletCharlotte · 08/04/2018 12:25

Iris is my favourite, beautiful name.

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 08/04/2018 15:57
  1. Meredith
  2. Sylvie
  3. Iris
  4. Theodora

It’s tough as they’re all lovely names!

dotdotdotmustdash · 08/04/2018 16:23

Meredith and skip the middle name, or at least use one that has some family meaning. Middle names aren't required.

17caterpillars1mouse · 09/04/2018 09:26

Meredith nn Edie :)

Mrsknackered · 09/04/2018 09:39

Love Iris and Sylvie.

I think Theodora is about OTT and I only like Meredith because of Grey’s, but it’s actually not a very nice name IMO

BackIntoTheSun · 09/04/2018 09:47

I like Sylvie with Meredith as a middle name but Meri as a nn for Meridith is cute
