Help[Opinions] Re: Meredith?
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I think a high profile case might change a few people's minds. I know people who would consider that. I think part of it is that Meredith is very unusual in Italy. It might have been different if the name was more common like Maria.

I agree. In the case of Myra, it's still taboo (as far as I know) in the U.K. due to Myra Hindley and the Moors Murders.
Meanwhile, Ian Brady (Myra's counterpart) doesn't seem to have impacted the popularity of Ian at all, because Ian was already a hugely popular name; whereas Myra was more unique. (Ian is off the U.K. Top 500 now, but it was still in regular use through the 2000s.)
