Meredith

We loved Edith for a little girl but close friends have recently used it. We've been thinking about Meredith instead - with either Edie or Meri as a nickname and I'd love to know what people think?

Love it 😊

I love Edith and Meredith (I know one who gets Merry as a nickname and it really suits her). I also love Judith, although I know it's quite a marmite name for a child - most people associate it with middle aged women!

Love it

Meredith Grey in Hrey's Anatomy is usually called Mer (rhyming with hair).

Love this name. Also love Merryn too.

I prefer meredith. Edith is quite popular in my area but meredith isn't. Plus meri is very cute.
