The Meredith I was at school with never used a nn; she was very occasionally called Merry, but it didn't seem necessary.

I like it for both genders. It sounds friendly and dignified at the same time.

Meredi is a cute nickname. I like Merry / Meri as a nickname for it as well.

I am a big Meredith fan. I like that she's no-nonsense and can suit any number of girls. However, I'm not very keen on Meredi as a nickname. I would use Edie or Mer/Meri, personally. It doesn't necessarily need a nickname, though.

I love Meredith, but I think that comes from my love for the character Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy lol.

Also, I know a little Meredith, she's about nine now. The name fits her perfectly, I think it's totally usable on a child. But I don't like that nickname. I don't really like any nn for Meredith but Mere "Mehr" is most natural.

I like Meredith. It doesn't seem that popular but I have known/know at least 5 or 6. It is really sweet and soft. I don't like the nn Meredi though; somehow it takes away the softness.
My husband has mentioned liking it so now I am considering it as possible future middle name for a daughter.

It's alright, but I think I actually like it more as a MN for a boy.

I quite like it, actually. It's one of those ageless names I can imagine on both the youngest of babies and the eldest old ladies. (rhyming unintended...!)

The nickname Meredi seems a bit much, in that it has the same syllables as Meredith itself. I'd go with a shorter nickname, personally.

I don't really like Meredith, but Meredi is pretty cute. It doesn't seem super natural as a nickname from Meredith - unless you mean just for you or family, but I don't think it would catch on widely.
Truthfully, Meredi is so much better than Meredith that I find myself wondering if it could be a name on its own.

Meredith always makes me think of merry death. Also, the 'dith' sound isn't one that appeals to me (guess that's why I'm also not into Lilith, Judith or Edith). Still, it's fine for someone else and Merry and Meredi are kind of cute.

I don't like it. I'm not sure why, it's just not my style. Maybe it feels dated to me or something. I don't know. There are a few Mer-sounding names I like, and I like Edith, but apparently together, I don't care for it.

Also Meredi is the same number of syllables and doesn't really strike me as a nickname that would come naturally at all. I guess it would work, but it'd be something you'd really have to push on people.

It's okay. Not really my style, though.
