Its pretty.

I like it. I think it is both strong and attractive as a name.

A co-worker welcomed a little Meredith Hope back in the autumn. They call her Merry.

Meredith is growing on me! I used to have it on my "middles only" list, but I think it deserves a shot on my main girls list. It's the name of Taylor Swift's cat, as well as a childhood church friend of mine, which I find to be very good associations. :)

Hi !!!

---

When I read this post I sae the meaning of this name and I found that... it is actually a masculine name!!!!

---

Really??? In all movies and books I saw only girls!!

---

This fact changes all my thoughts about Meredith !!

---

In the past I thought that it was too frilly. I didn't care .

---

But now... it has a very masculine meaning! It is so strange see it on a boy when in my whole life I knew it as feminine...

---

Now it is fascinating anyway.

Byeeeeee

I never really liked the sound of it, plus it's kind of dated.

I don't like the th ending for starters.
It's not terrible, but it seems prissy and prep-school in the early nineties to me. I can picture Meredith hanging around with Mallory and Hillary.

I love basically all "Mair" starting names.

I love Meredith- it's been in my top list before. I also like a contracted, Mareth.

---

It's a little bit dated, I guess, in that it was once used more frequently than it is now, but I wouldn't REALLY consider it to be a dated name. I don't feel like it was ever really popular enough to give that impression.

---

Side note: I also like the idea of a Meredith whose nickname is Mirth :)

I like it.
