Meredith

WDYT of Meredith?

Love it! This was on our girls name list but we ended up having 2 boys.

Love it

I like Meredith, don’t like mere as a non though

Love it. Was my top girls choice for dc2 but OH wasn't totally convinced. Luckily we had a boy, so didn't have to battle it out :)

Not for a girl. It’s a Welsh boys’ name, and tends to be pronounced wrongly. For a girl it’s downmarket and has no class.

Dislike it. It is OK as a surname but it sounds masculine and harsh as a girl's name.

Oh I love Meredith! It's a name you just don't hear. It's timeless and beautiful.

How can Meredith be considered timeless? It’s a very modern American name, surely, if used for a girl.

Agree, ShipOfTheseus.

Someone once posted that Darcy (or Darcie/Darcey) was timeless - er, ... as a surname.

Beautiful

I always understood it to be Welsh

Meredith spelled like that isn't Welsh.

Love it - and agree with pp that Merry would be a lovely nickname.

I thinks it's a beautiful name.

Love it

I really love this name. It’s pretty but not overly frilly.

Love it, would use

I wouldn't use Merry as a nn, in case she's not! A heavy burden if she's a miserable kid

I like it, but it does make me think of an unpleasant association with Meredith Kertcher/Amanda Knox

I like it. I have never met a little Meredith but I would like to. I think it would work for any age too.

We have a Meredith so obviously a big yes from me!

I really like it pronounced like in Greys. Think it's lovely and also quite unusual.

Mumsnet can be odd sometimes. Would never have said Meredith was down-market or modern. it's akin to names like Patricia and Barbara to me although far prettier. Due a revival I'd say op.

Love it, would of really considered using it except it clashes with my surname :(

I love it. I am a Greys fan and would still use despite the connection. Just need to convince the hubby.
