Meredith or Edith?

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!

Literally watching The Office US as I read this thread so had to come here to say definitely not Meredith 😂😂

Mary Ellen and Martha I also love.

Meredith. Edith makes me think of an extremely old lady, though maybe it is due a modernisation.....

Neither. Sorry.

I don't like Meredith or Edith at all. Edie short for Edith is quite nice, but there are lots of Evies.

Enid is an old welsh name pronounced as Ennid. and is lovely. Not keen on the Ee-nid pronunciation.
Martha is nice, as is Mary.

I’ve watched too much of the US Office to not think of that character 😂

I quite like Edith with nn Edie

Thank you! I still love Martha and Edith and slightly gutted we didn't use them but she just didn't suit the names at all when she came out
