Babynamewizard's NameVoyager shows it in the top 1000 for boys through the 1940s, and that starting in the 1920s it began to have a higher ranking for girls. There's a male Meredith in Agatha Christie's "Five Little Pigs" (aka "Murder in Retrospect"), and that and Meredith Wilson are the only two times I've seen it on men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-10701286260194809142011-05-05T23:43:15.728-04:002011-05-05T23:43:15.728-04:00You and the BBC, Fred.
