Considering this as a girl's name, but worried that it'll be constantly mis-spelt/mispronounced (we don't live in Wales). Thoughts, please?

Also much prefer the spelling rather than 'kerry'

I think Ceri and Keri are the nicest spellings of the name.

It's Kerry. I don't think it's that uncommon. I have met a few, none of them welsh incidentally.

It can be short for the Welsh name Ceridwen. I would pronounce it as Kerry too. Beautiful name.

It’s ‘kerry’.
I went to school with a Ceri, And i think it’s lovely. I really like welsh spellings. It’s difficult to mispronounce it, but it won’t be anyone’s first thought about how to spell it if you only say it out loud.

Kerry.

Kerry, and I'd know how to spell it if they said it was the Welsh version.

IfNot · 27/02/2018 14:38

Kerry is how I would say it.

Bakedappleflavour · 27/02/2018 14:38

Kerry; that's how my friend Ceri pronounces it.
