I love Nuala! I think it sounds v pretty.

Seren is to close to Sienna.

What about Orlaith (Orla)?

Seren is the welsh word for star, I think it's a nice name but very popular where I am (South Wales so hardly surprising) Grin

I like Elsie too, it's a really sweet name.

Elsie is my favourite there Smile

In Ireland Nuala is on a par with Doreen and Mavis in the cool name stakes. Granny NON-chic!

If Elsie is your fave that's what counts. Those of us that are out of date with names will soon catch up.

I love Elsie.

Seren is nice. But very similar to sienna.

Nuala ..how is that pronounced?

Don't like Elsie, sorry.

ouryve · 18/12/2014 22:57

They're very different names.

My gran was Elsie.

Anyone remember the Nualas?

Jumblebee · 18/12/2014 22:57

How do you pronounce Seren and Nuala?

If Seren is pronounce like seren-ity (I hope that makes sense!) then I really like it Smile I've never heard or seen the name before.

DramaAlpaca · 18/12/2014 22:57

Seren is the only one I like, it's beautiful.

Elsie is very much a granny name to me, and Nuala is its Irish equivalent. I've never met a Nuala under the age of 70.

mumteedum · 18/12/2014 22:55

Basically though, it's what you think that matters.

mumteedum · 18/12/2014 22:54

Sorry but the awful abadas on cbeebies had put me right off seren. I'm not sure about Welsh /irish/Scottish names unless you've got some links to it. Each to their own though. So I'm saying Elsie but maybe tis cos I'm English and it's a family name. Xmas Smile
