We found it really easy to decide on Olwen with Dd last time but now I don't have a clue so I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I really don't know whether to go for another Welsh name (we live in Wales I am Welsh) or whether to go for another old fashioned name (e.g. Enid or Agnes - i like both of those more than DH who is not convinced). The list of Welsh names just seems a bit short though as DH is English and obviously needs to be able to pronounce it properly (lovely names such as Gwenllian and Eirlys have been ruled out).

Anyone got ideas for a girl's name to go with Olwen?

Meh.... I suppose I'm looking for an unusal Welsh name which is still easily pronounced by English relatives.

When people hear Olwen's name I often get told that it was their grandmother or their great aunt's name so maybe I am looking for an old fashioned Welsh name. My Nanna didn't have a Welsh name but I wonder what Welsh names where popular in the early 20th century or how I would even find out?
