I think it's quite cute..my dad always calls me Meredee as a nickname for Meredith. On some show I saw this girl named Meri-de, I don't really like that spelling but it was kind of cool. :)

love it...

I posted about this name a few days ago. Ran across it as Maridee alt spelling Meridy, got intrigued. I like it for a girl - it's just my style, at the moment anyway; although it might be a bit hard to get a husband to agree to it. I still haven't found a meaning. It's probably a respelling (from 19th c or earlier) of the surname Meredith or Merriday. I much prefer the spelling Meridy. Merridy looks especially surnamey to me (although Meridy's a surname too); and also too "merry."

Array did some research and found that Meridy has very likely been used far, far more often for boys, as you'd expect for a surname name; as well as Merriday.
