Help[Opinions] Meredith
This has been on my short-list for the past year. Dh does not like it and I know it's one of those you either love or hate.
Dh loves Juliet. I just don't think I love enough for a first name. We had discussed these names:
Meredith Juliet
Meredith Cait
Meredith Leigh
(My middle name is Leigh, Cait is Irish like our son's name, hubby likes Juliet).
(I like the nickname Mary/Merry...is Mary too far a stretch for Meredith)?
(And, do you think it ties in with my son's name at all, Connor James...I've read in a few places it's Gaelic but others that it just stems from Welsh. Connor is Irish Celtic.)

I really like Meredith and had no idea it was viewed as a male name by some. In the US though, I would feel safe saying it is considered very much a girl's name.
Meredith Leigh is so pretty. You could also try Meredith Cait Leigh. I'm not usually into double mn's but I like this.

I like Juliet but not as a mn with Meredith. It almost sounds like it rhymes. I prefer Meredith Cait or Meredith Leigh.

I like Meredith Cait the best. Cait is sweet, simple, and it sounds great with Meredith.

I think Meredith is nice name. Meredith Leigh is a lovely combo.

I'm going to have to side with your DH here - I don't like it, but I love Juliet. I love the name Mary though, so I'd think that would be a perfect nn. I think Meredith Juliet is the best of those combos. Jack Tobias / Jack Aubrey & Charlotte ________ (need suggestions) "You may say that I'm a dreamer,

But I'm not the only one."

I like the combo Meredith Juliet, but Meredith on it's own is not my fave on a girl. Love it on a boy though. I do like Juliet for a girl on it's own. I like Merry for a nn too.

Meredith is a male name to me: Meredith is still considered male in Wales, I believe, and Maredudd or Maredydd, the original form of the name, is still exclusively male everywhere. EDIT: Also, six kings named Maredudd or Maredydd ruled various parts of Wales in Dark and Middle Ages.
That said, of your three combos I think Meredith Cait sounds the best; but I prefer Cait spelled Kate or Cate. Meredith Leigh is too gender ambiguous, while Meredith Juliet just doesn't flow well to me. Meredith Julie would be a better choice imo, when it comes to flow.
Merry is a more natural, less confusing spelling for the name Meredith imo.

Post under one name only please, Krista / Krista Leigh
It is strictly against the rules to post under more than one name. This means you must put the same name in the 'Name' box every time you post.
Please choose either Krista or Krista Leigh and stick to it from now on.
Thanks
