I much prefer Sophie.

Meredith by miles! Sophie is so ubiquitous. Don't like Merry as a nn though.

Meredith, So classic and pretty!

RoseMartha · 07/03/2019 17:48

Although I prefer Sophie I think Meredith is unusual and nice so I will choose, Meredith.

I love Merry as a nickname

Bellaposey · 07/03/2019 20:14

Meredith! It's high on our list - lots of nickname options and under used.

TildaTurnip · 07/03/2019 23:20

Merry and Sophie both end in the same sound as Lottie so don’t discard Meredith for that reason.

I’d choose Meredith.

Sophie by a mile! But then the only Meredith I know is a big rugby-playing Welshman.

MordredsOrrery · 08/03/2019 07:31

Meredith, definitely

DaisyDaisydoo · 08/03/2019 07:35

Meredith by miles! It’s absolutely beautiful

WutheringFrights · 08/03/2019 07:37

Meredith!
I have one - but we’ve never called her Merry as I utterly hate it as a nickname.
She has just informed me that she likes being called Merry or Mer by her friends at school though so I guess I may have to get used to it being shortened as she gets older! 😂

Meredith
Sophie is very well used.

oohyoudevilyou · 08/03/2019 11:50

Friends DD is called Meredith, but they shorten her name to to Mim which is cute and suits her. Don't like Merry as diminutive, sorry. Sophie is lovely too.

Sophie

Arpafeelie · 09/03/2019 14:46

Use both - Sophie Meredith is beautiful. I think Meredith is the more interesting name, but you cannot go wrong with Sophie. It is elegant, has a good meaning, suits all ages.

I love Sophie but Meredith just has the edge to me. It's less used and I love the "ith" sound on the end.
