Sibling names for Dylan

Hello, I'm pregnant with a little girl, I already have a DS called Dylan trying to find a name that will go with it. We like Liusaidh (pronounced Lucy) but just wanted some other ideas to decide from.

Dylan is Welsh.
Liusaidh is Scottish Gaelic.

Perfectly OK if one of you is Welsh and the other is Scottish, but otherwise it's odd. Just a bit pick and mix from various non-English- language but UK cultures....

Your baby, your name, of course...

Well just spell it Lucy to save her a lifetime of annoyance when people haven’t a clue how to say her name.

I know a Dylan and Katie sibset.

Have you picked Dylan as it's Welsh and do you use the Welsh pronunciation? (Dull-anne rather than Dill-un).

If so, I've heard of people using Lwsi as a Cymrified version of Lucy.

If you wanted another Welsh name then:
Mali
Nia
Ffion
Mari
Nansi
Alys
Efa
Cadi
Eira
Megan
Tesni
Eleri

I think all of those would go nicely with Dylan.

I read it as Lucy with no problem and no pause. Seems fine.

Lwsi is awful.

It's a welsh spelling of Lucy, but there's a Welsh form of Lucy, Lleucu

Lluci and Luci etc will be a PITA because of the spelling. I know a Luci and people often think it is pronounced Lootchy

Lwsi would need a circumflex to get the Lucy sound

Lŵsi.

Why would you not just spell it Lucy?? That’s going to be a complete pain for her.,

Otherwise

Dylan means 'son of the sea' and Seren means 'star' in my mother tongue.

Astra is a great fit with Dylan!

(And please don't call a child whatever that mess of letters you first wrote was - she'll spend her entire life correcting it and hating you for it!).

You are showing your ignorance @Luckingfovely. What you are referring to as a mess of letters is a gaelic name.

Consumer nn Connie - Constance is nicer than Consumer
