Meredith?

Thoughts on Meredith?

I also quite like Michaela and Merryn?

Please feel free to suggest any other M names?

Veto’d names already include: Melrose, Mackenzie, Margery.

Names we’re a bit ambivalent about: Marietta, Margot, Maeve.

Please help!

Love it.

How about Mara or Marissa?

Thanks everyone!

Love Mhairi/ Mhari, but baby will have an aunty with that name so it’s probably not the one.

Suggested Martha but it was a straight no from my partner!

Interesting that Madeline (or any of its spellings) hasn’t come up as a suggestion. I quite like it but my partner says it just makes him think of McCann. Is this a particularly strong / off-putting association with the name?

Not for me, and it's a pretty name. Madeleine is my preferred spelling.

I have a Merida and a Maisie

Also love Mabel.

Love Meredith, also Miriam.

Immediately I thought of Meredith Kercher, murdered in Italy. So it would be a no for me.

Meredith is just a Welsh surname/boy’s name at best.
I think Madeleine is a lot nicer.

BitofaStramash · 08/11/2023 18:54

Meredith is lovely.

I don't like Michaela at all.

Merryn, Mirren, Murron all nice too.

Meredith is a beautiful name. There was a girl called Gabriel Meredith way back in exDh’s family, always known as Merrie.
