Welsh girls names

I started a thread yesterday on names of French origin and there are some lovely ones that will go onto discussion list. My only concern with them is that as we have a traditional (welsh origin?) surname, they might not flow well with it.
There are some lovely welsh names out there for girls. Can you suggest/ remind me of a few please?

Seren is pretty! I like Eira but I think it means snow so might not work for a Summer baby- due in June. Thanks!

I you should go for Manon, as it is a French and a Welsh name (each with different origins and meanings).

Rhonwen is so pretty! Had also forgotten about Carys. Like the idea behind Manon but not sure of the name itself yet. Going to say it aloud to myself for a bit and see what I think then. I might well appear to be mad to passers by!

Gwen is very Welsh (as am I!) but I also know a Gwenaelle (called Gwen) who is French.
