My first name is Meredith, as it was for my father and grandfather. Meredith has been a man's given name in my family since some time in the 19th century. I have ancestors from Virginia and Tennessee whose surname was Meredith about five generations ago, so it's truly a family name rather than something we just pulled out of nowhere. Most people think it sounds "pretty" these days, and therefore assume it's a woman's name, but I still find it strange to hear it used for females. I think it's fun to see the shock on peoples' faces when they call for "Meredith" (in a medical waiting room for example) expecting a woman, but get a tall man!
Given its 1400 year history as a masculine name, it should be listed here as unisex rather than feminine-only.

I don't live in Wales, but I'd totally use this on a boy.
I don't find it nice on a girl, and loathe boy names on girls.
