Meredith or Edith?

[HairOclock]

Which do you prefer out of Meredith and Edith? I think I'm more swaying towards Edith but the more I see Meredith, the more I like it, and I suppose it has more nickname/shortenings options!

Meredith is the lesser of two evils ...
Sorry 😂

Not to my taste, I think Edith conjours images of a nursing home still (to me anyway)

edie is so very popular where i live I would avoid edith. Ive always lived the name Meredith.

I prefer Meredith, it has a softer sound and I think slightly unusual ( at least in my circle) but go with your heart.

Ive always loved the name Meredith that should have been

Definitely Meredith. It's mellifluous and elegant, and Meri is a sweet nn.

I love both names, also love Judith. I would go for Edith, as the correct Welsh pronunciation of Meredith isn't how I would instinctively pronounce it (I think it's more emphasis on the -red in the middle).

Meredith, by a country mile.

I love Edie as a nn, but much prefer Meredith as a "proper" name.
I also know a little Dodie (like Dodie Smith, author of 101 Dalmatians)

Meredith is beautiful, not keen on Edith

Meredith definitely

Meredith. I had a teacher called this and she was so glamorous and cool.

Meredith

Meredith. I'm not keen on Edith.

Meredith. Don't like Edith at all.

Meredith - I love Edith too but there are so many of them.

Plus Merry as a short form is lovely, and Edie works too.

Meredith is pretty and the nickname Merry is a nice one.

Edith just sounds really harsh and ugly to me.

Another vote for Meredith

I'll be the lone dissenter - I much prefer Edith as I think it's snappier and fresher-sounding. It's vintage while Meredith feels middle-aged, to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edith nn Edie or Didi. Meredith doesn't sound pretty or strong.

Have you thought of Eadie? Currently have one in my class and I'm loving it 😍

I LOVE Edith, and Edie. Fabulous name.

Meredith for sure. Nn Meri is very sweet too
