Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay, portrayed by David Hewlett on the SciFi network show "Stargate: Atlantis," is probably the most well-known male bearer in contemporary entertainment.
Meredith Louise Vieira is an American journalist, talk show and game show host. She is known for serving as the original moderator of the ABC talk show, The View, and for co-hosting the long-running NBC News morning news program, Today.
"Meredith Rodney McKay" is the first name of the TV show "Stargate: Atlantis" character known as "Rodney McKay", the Canadian Chief Scientific Advisor of the Atlantis Expedition. But he goes as "Rodney" and no one knew about the "Meredith" part, until his equally genius sister "Jeannie" needed to come and help out and let that secret slip. I suppose that he was teased about it as a kid in school.
