I know it's been done but I'm looking for inspiration.

Don't know what we are having, already have a Cadi and a Morus (pronounced Morris)

Dh is Welsh speaking and the kids will go to Welsh school but my family are English so I'd like something they can pronounce.

We have a Dafydd and an Emrys (different generations, and my daughter would have been Angharad if both my and DH's names didn't begin with A

Eira and Taliesen :)

Thank you vanessa! I was a mile off with my guess. What a lovely name!

We have a Taliesin. Other names we considered were Osian, Idris, Iolo, Aneira, Arianwen, Lowri.

VanessaBet · 10/07/2017 20:16

LilaBard I would pronounce it 'Yes-tin'

LilaBard · 10/07/2017 20:01

Ah, crosspost so I see one of my questions is answered already :)

LilaBard · 10/07/2017 19:59

Non welsh person here, curious as to how you say the name Iestyn? And is Osian similar to the Irish boys name Oisín (Osh-een or Ush-een depending on where you're from) or totally different?
Some beautiful names in this thread!

piefacedClique · 10/07/2017 19:58

Osian (oshan). Loved it for our little boy but husband said nope!

Stardustandicecream · 10/07/2017 19:56

Also arwen though I'm not sure if that's the welsh spelling

Wait4nothing · 10/07/2017 19:54

Oh we are based in English - dd has a Welsh name but we are struggling to agree anything for future baby

Stardustandicecream · 10/07/2017 19:54

Nia

VanessaBet · 10/07/2017 19:52

Betsan, Eleri, Carys, Cerys, Ceri, Eira, Megan - all easy enough for English tongues?

Rhys, Gethin, Gareth, Tomos, Idris for boys?

Pansiesandredrosesandmarigolds · 10/07/2017 19:51

Taliesin? Mostly because I luff it.

OnlyRose · 10/07/2017 19:50

Nia or Mabli for a girl, both pretty and easy to pronounce.

Bearberry · 10/07/2017 19:45

Ffion or Gwenyth for girls?

bridgetreilly · 10/07/2017 19:42

Mererid. I love it as it is but also love Merry.
