I know that Meredith was historically a masculine name, but I've always considered it quite feminine. The Mer- beginning reminds me of Mary and associated names, so that already lends a feminine aspect; and the ending is similar to Elizabeth, Judith, Gwenith, etc. It reads as a very cosmopolitan feminine name, to me. My first association is Meredith Blake, the potential evil stepmother in the 90s remake of The Parent Trap (classic movie of my childhood - everyone in my generation recognizes this gif: https://tenor.com/view/meredith-parent-trap-elaine-hendrix-gif-12906826).

On the other hand, I've always thought of Morgan as masculine, even though historically it was quite feminine (in Arthurian tales, the sorceress is called Morgan as often as Morgana). Still doubtful I'd actually use it for a boy, though. My first association is Morgan Earp in Tombstone, tragically enough.
