Hiya all

Really like the name Meredith, but not sure what her nickname would be or whether it rhymes with anything awful. Please help! Does anyone already have a child called Meredith? What's their nickname?

I think the most obvious and common nn would be Merry/Merri. I don't think that's awful at all! In fact, I think it's portrays something very jolly and pleasant!


If you are looking for a more uncommon nn, perhaps...Reda? (from the middle of the name). Also, I don't know how you'd want to pronounce it--I think it could be either:


Ray-da


or


Ree-da.


best of luck to you!

I really like the nn Merry.....some people might tease her about the whole "Merry Christmas" but I don't think it'll be a big deal.

If my baby's a girl, we'll name her Meredie Elyssa!

I can't think of any bad nn's for Meredith and I like Merry. But, why have a nn at all?

Oh, I don't know any Merediths at all.
