I posted a few days ago about the name [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] as an honour name for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (& [name_f]Edith[/name_f]! What a surprise bonus!) and nicknames, of which I loved [name_f]Merry[/name_f], [name_f]Edie[/name_f] & [name_f]Mimi[/name_f].
Now I want to know, do you think it fits with potential sister names such as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Annette[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], or [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]?
And secondly, what middle name would you pair it with? My current favourite middle names are [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Tulip[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]. (I prefer short middle names with longer first names)
I can see [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] in a sibset with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f].
Out of your middle names I love
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
I am so happy that you are loving [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]! <3
Thanks again @xmintiex, you’ve been so helpful on both these threads now! I love your taste by the way, in your signature - we seem to have a lot of the same favourites
Thankyou so much! @xmintiex was actually the person to point out the [name_f]Edith[/name_f] connection, I was just trying to get [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and didn’t even notice!
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] feels less feminine than the names you’ve listed, but it has the same classic without being obviously so feel (unlike, say, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]- classic but not what comes to mind immediately when you think of a classic name), so I think it works with all of them but [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], which itself feels like an outlier among that list. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] are my favourites- just noticed they’re all nature names!
