  1. We chose Meredith because I liked Edith but my husband didn’t. We both thought Meredith was pretty. I like that it’s a bit unique, old fashion/vintage and goes well with my other kids names. I also like the nickname options. The only thing I don’t like/was worried about was people thinking it came from Greys Anatomy but I actually haven’t had anyone bring it up.

  2. Growng up as a Meredith sucks. Use a more contemporary name. Your daughter will appreciate it.

    • I think that that is a very good statement I go by Merry now because of my hate towards the name I am 60 years old and have never like the name

  3. I love the name Meredith I think it suits any age 🙂 If I have a child one day this name will be at the top of my list ! I originally heard the name from Meredith from the show “Greys Anatomy “

  4. We liked Meredith because it’s classic and feminine, but not super popular. One if the meanings of Meredith is “protector of the sea.” My husband and I met in a college beach town and the beach is our favorite place so it fit us perfectly.
