i have mixed feelings. it sounds kind of hard, but i like it. for me, it depends on who it belongs to.

Like it a lot.
It makes me think of the ocean. I also tend to love names that have a "th" sound at the end.

For a female, I dislike it.
It just has a valley girl feel to it. For a boy, I find it sweet - though I understand it couldn't work in today's world.

Kind of agree...(m)
It does have that valley girl feel to it. I still sort of like it (for someone else's daughter kind of thing).
I also love it for a boy, and am one for naming boys with more feminine names. A masucline name that is seen now as feminine doesnt discourage me from wanting to use it (although the DH might).

I have alway's liked the name Meredith. It sounds sweet and simple. It's a very pretty name for all ages.

Never liked it myself.

I don't care for it. The th ending has never appealed to me at all, and the name conjures up an image of a rich, overly self-assured, somewhat manipulative girl in an exclusive private school who has always had everything exactly as she wants it becaause of her daddy's money and her own looks and "charm."
I know it has occasionally been used as a boy's name, but the Mary sound in it makes this much too feminine to give a boy.

don't like it

I prefer it for a boy (but I am in the minority), however it's ok for a girl.
It was one of the those names that could have gone either way for me, Jocelyn and Vivian (prefer for a boy) and Joyce and Florence (prefer for a girl) are others examples and, like Evelyn, Christian and Julian, I'll probably like it for both eventually (usually when I find the right combo, Charles Meredith is what swung it to the boys for me, it could easily have been Isabel Meredith.)

Adore it. Something about the sound is lovely to me. I think I'm in the minority on this one, however! I actually like it better on a female than a male, but I'd love to see either one.

I love Meredith. It's very underused where I live, and it's just so pretty and gentle sounding.

I don't like it. I've had some bad associations with it. Every Meredith I've known has been fake and annoying, to be perfectly honest. Not something I'd use, but that's just me.

I think it's wonderful.

I like it, on a girl that is.

I think it's a fine name. I wouldn't use it, but it's nice.
Girl only, please.
