My husband is Welsh but we currently live in England. We would, however, like to choose a Welsh name for our little girl that goes with our surname, Howells. We are looking for a name that is easy to recognise and pronounce outside of Wales. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you!

Seren? Eira / Aneira, Mari, Haf, Beti / Betsi / Betsan, Elin / Elena, Carys / Cerys, Nerys, Mali.

I've just gone for the shorter more easy to pronounce ones!

I've always loved the name Angharad, it's one of those names that grows with all ages.

Nerys isn't unheard of in England either.

Elin Mabli, Seren are easy for non- welsh speakers. Also Megan, Bethan, Betsan. Or a Welsh spelling: Anni, Elsi. Ffion, Manon, Siân...

Seren, such a pretty name and lovely meaning too.

My DS has a welsh name and we live in England and it poses no problems.

Rhiannon? I have know three Rhiannons in England. I also know a Heulwen who was born and brought up in England, but that's another story, as she is always having to explain her name.
