Really like it!

MrsBungle · 17/10/2020 22:09

Love it!

DramaAlpaca · 17/10/2020 22:10

I'm not keen on it.

DramaDromedary · 17/10/2020 22:12

Love it. If it didn’t go so badly with our surname, it would definitely have been a contender. I also love Merewyn.

stepbackfromthecircles · 17/10/2020 22:13

I have a Meredith. I love it!

tinytemper66 · 17/10/2020 22:13

How will you pronounce it? Like Meredith in Greys or with the stress on the dith as Welsh people say? (Or rather as I would say it)

Nutmegpapaya · 17/10/2020 22:13

I dont like it, I think it's quite a harsh name

Then again I grew up watching the parent trap (lindsay Lohan one) and the evil step mum is called meredith so maybe I'm biased!

RaininSummer · 17/10/2020 22:15

I think it's a lovely name.

JaJaDingDong · 17/10/2020 22:15

Welsh people put the emphasis on the ed not the dith.
MerEDith.

But it's Meredydd, and it's a boy's name.

tinytemper66 · 17/10/2020 22:18

I am Welsh and I put the stress on the dith. Must be the only one then.

tinytemper66 · 17/10/2020 22:19

I put the stress on the dith! Must be the only one!

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 17/10/2020 22:19

It's fine.

ree348 · 17/10/2020 22:21

Love it!

gypsywater · 17/10/2020 22:22

For a boy right?

Ladderofyears · 17/10/2020 22:45

Love love love it. (For a girl).

SquigglePigs · 17/10/2020 22:47

I really like it. DH vetoed it for our DD though. I do think it can be a bit of a marmite name though.

Tillygetsit · 17/10/2020 22:48

I really like it.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 17/10/2020 22:48

I like it, I also like Merry as a NN

Sakura7 · 17/10/2020 22:52

I really like it, and to me it's absolutely a girl's name.

Oneandabean · 17/10/2020 22:53

It depends for a girl or boy. For a girl is fine but for a boy needs spelling meredydd

lobsteroll · 17/10/2020 23:05

Love it!!

BellsofStClems · 17/10/2020 23:08

Greys anatomy link is too strong for me. Ignoring that I think it's lovely!

Auto · 17/10/2020 23:28

I like it although it's a bit surnamey.

CaffiSaliMali · 18/10/2020 09:01

Meredith is an anglicisation of the Welsh boys name Maredudd (Ma-RED-ith) used for girls.

That said, I do like Meredith and the English pronunciation for a girl. Merry is a nice nickname.

VenusClapTrap · 18/10/2020 09:11

It’s a bit long for me, but I like it. Not Merry as a nickname though - too twee.
