My name is Meredith. I’ve never liked it, but I don’t hate it either. I wish it were more unique and not so old-fashioned.

Myyyy name is Meredith! I did not like it all until recently, but now I do. I’m definitely the “frills-free” type. Oh, and I am a dancer!

Sadly, in entertainment save for Grey’s lately, Meredith has become a “mean girl” name- see the mean almost-stepmom in the new “Parent Trap” and the villain in the live-action “Bratz” movie for examples.

As for me, despite two negative associations, I like the name.

I have seen Maradeth and Merideth and do not like those however.

I’m here to give Meredith some love! I had not realized it but I don’t think I have ever met a Meredith IRL in Central California. I’ve always thought it’s a great name and I have recommended for others who are looking for a “frills-free” name. I’ll choose Meredith over Lindsey any day! I can see Meredith as an athlete, a cheerleader, a dancer, a principal, the president of a bank, a mom, a CEO. The name can fit a sports lover as well as Martha Stewart type. Since I’m not into nicknames she’d always be Meredith to me.

What about Miriam as a name of the day?!

I’ve known 3 Merediths, plus it’s my sister-in-law’s middle name, and her 2 year old daughter’s first name. It seems to have been very popular in my East coast area – all the ones I knew growing up were around my age. I’ve never liked it and this was helped along by the fact that the one I knew best was the meanest, cruelest, most spiteful person I knew in my tween years. I can’t like the name, despite my sweet niece and her delicious hugs.

I like Meredith a lot. I’ve only known one Meredith — she was a little girl who lived down the street from my grandmother’s house.

The name sounds strong and sophisticated but still fresh and kind of breath-y, if that makes sense. I think I like the “th” ending that isn’t seen too often (except on Elizabeth and a few very dated-sounding two-syllable names). Meredith’s not at the top of my list, but she’s one I’d readily go for if my husband ever suggested it.
