Middle name to go with Holly...

(20 Posts)

...or to be more specific a third name that will 'work' with the name 'Holly Ceridwen'.

The first two names are a definite if this bump is a girl (Holly is only first name we both like, and have Welsh ancestry in family so really wanted one Welsh middle name) but we also want a third name...mainly as DS has three names and although it might seem crazy it would seem mean to give this one only 2! We have a three-name boy's name lined up ready but are struggling for a third name for a girl.

Possibilities at the moment:

Holly Ceridwen Rose
Holly Ceridwen Grace
Holly Ceridwen Eloise
Holly Ceridwen Louisa

any thoughts???? or other suggestions??? am open to ideas (other than Jane or May neither of which I particularly like wink)

Thank you for all the replies smile

Ladyem - Ceridwen is pronounced Ke-RID-wen - emphasis on middle syllable - but in Wales I would imagine most Ceridwens are shortened to Ceri (pronounced Kerry)

Ceridwen and Eloise are two of our possible middle names so definite good taste there! grin

Eloise or Lousia.

Rose, Grace, Mae are all very very common.

All lovely names, think I like Rose and Eloise best! I love the name Holly and wanted it if our DC due early sept is a girl, but DH is set on Harriet!!! I was going for Holly Anne.

Just out of interest, how do you pronounce Ceridwen? I'm sure I'm doing it completely wrong!! Is it like kerry-dwen?

I like Rose. Or what about Hope? Or Faith if you're that way inclined?

Anything but Rose! Every baby I know born this year has the middle name Rose! I would go for Louisa from your list.
