Unusual. At the moment evokes Meredith Kercher but that won't last for long.

Lovely!

Worried about Meredith Kercher aspect. I loved the name long before that sad story hit the press but concerned people may think that inspired me.

Presumably for a girl? Can be a boy's name in Wales.

Lovely name and Merry for a nn is beautiful too, was on our list.

Its a very pretty name

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 07/03/2010 21:20

I was going to ask boy or girl too?

I always get stuck on where to put the emphasis when I say this name - meh-reh-dith or mere-dith?

I really like it. Would you pronounce it Mer red ith or Meredith ? Haven't quite explained that right, but do you see what I mean ?! There is a little known 'Nativity' play called 'Meredith the Christmas Camel'!

MaggieBlue · 07/03/2010 21:21

I like it. My first thought was Meredith Grey actually.

Vivia · 07/03/2010 21:24

I too think of poor Meredith Kercher. That won't last, of course. Personally I prefer something stronger: Miranda, nn Miri?

Mumcentreplus · 07/03/2010 21:29

miri is cuter..meredith..too ole lady..

Miranda seems a bit '80s to me for some reason.

I think it sounds a little clunky.

I like it. makes me think of the singer Meredith Brooks of 'Bitch' fame.

TinyPawz · 08/03/2010 00:54

Meredith is lovely but I instantly think of Meredith Grey (from that show).

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 08/03/2010 00:55

it's lovely.

lowrib · 08/03/2010 01:04

Meredith is a lovely name.

CheerfulYank · 08/03/2010 01:09

I don't know who Meredith Kercher is. I think it's a really pretty name; the only Meredith I know personally is beautiful and a lot of fun, so I have good conotation.

It's my DSis's name, she abbreviates to Merr. Or Mez.

I really like it and would use it if it wasn't her name!
