Sophie.

Prefer Sophie. Lovely name.

Sophie

Ribbonsonabox · 04/03/2019 09:42

Meredith! Pretty and underused. And I knew a really lovely girl called Meredith at school!

LemonBreeland · 04/03/2019 09:43

Meredith, lovely and totally underused.

Sophie has always seemed a bit 'wet' to me.

My daughter is called Sophie so obviously I love it. It's fairly popular in the tables but we don't meet many others - in her school of 350 there are two of them. I don't mind Meredith as I like grey's anatomy but don't love it.

I love both but think I’d choose Meredith, it’s underused.

Fedoos · 04/03/2019 09:47

Definitely Meredith. I love it. In fact, I posted about it just a few days ago. Currently top of the list for DD2 due in the summer.

Sophie. Meredith is awful.

Sophie

IVflytrap · 04/03/2019 12:16

Meredith.

daisypond · 04/03/2019 12:34

Very different styles of name there. I'd only consider Sophie.

Sophronia · 04/03/2019 12:39

Meredith is more unusual.

Villanellesproudmum · 04/03/2019 12:43

Love Meredith, I only know one who is called Merry for short.

StellaRae · 04/03/2019 12:45

Sophie

TrainSong · 04/03/2019 12:46

Meredith is more unusual. Elegant. I like it.
Sophie is very popular. Sophia with an a is my favourite girls name. I'd use it even if every other girl in the class had the same name. Almost.

Thanks for the feedback. Older Dd is called Charlotte (nn Lottie). We would prob shorten Meredith to Merry which might be a bit samey.

What about Florence, Alice, Eleanor, Madeleine or Lucy? They go nicely with Charlotte imo.

I love Eleanor but my niece is Eleanor. A close friend has just had a girl called Florence. I really like Lucy but it seems a bit of a young girls name. Madelaine is lovely but I cannot stand Maddy. Alice, Dh dislikes. But I agree that all those go well... any other suggestions?!
