Welsh Girls Name Needed.

I'm in need of a name for DD2 due in July and me and DH can't seem to agree on any so far. I thought I'd seen them all but there might be something I'm missing.

It needs to be Welsh, not to difficult to pronounce, I can't roll my R's and sometimes struggle with the dd (th) sound, not always though. DH is the Welsh one, not me.

DD1 is Celyn but I don't want a rhymey name for DD2 so that makes it even more difficult. Our surname is H, so I don't really want a H name either.

I love Erin but it's too close to Celyn. I like Ffion, Nia and Gwen but DH seems to like the more 'out there' names. I can't even remember how to pronounce his current favourite, it was a bit like Gwyneth, but more of a mouth full.

We both like Meri, but wondering if there is something else.

My head is puddled. Please help :)

These are good, Nerys was the harpists name at our wedding.

I like Beth and Ruth, don't love them though. Nesta makes me think of Nessa from Gavin & Stacey.

I do love Elspeth but worry about it being shortened to Ellie, which is silly popular around here.

I was hoping to create a list to show to DH.

Anwen, by a mile.

I also love Bethan and Nesta

Nerys? One of my favourites.

Nia is my favourite welsh name.

I know Blythe isnt welsh but it always feels like it ought.
