A sister for Eleri?

105 replies

Imhookedoncrochet · 11/03/2018 15:50

We are expecting dd2, and dd1 is called Eleri (it's a Welsh name).

Does anyone have any suggestions of what might go? I had a boys name picked out but I can't find a girls name I like, and we now know it's a girl so need to get my thinking cap on!

I think ideally we would like another Welsh name.

Ah, I was coming on to say Arianwen, but if you're not keen on Anwen then probably not!

Eleri is lovely. Never heard that name before. I don’t know many welsh names but I do love Seren.

Ceiredwen?

Gwendoline

Also love Cerys and Seren. Seren sounds particularly lovely in a welsh accent. So does Bethan- that and Callwen are also daughters of a welsh king, like Eleri. (Name meanings are very important for me!)

Yes Cerys is my favourite Welsh girl name.

Angharad is pretty darn terrific though.

I used to love Anwen but someone ruined it for me saying it sounded like "and when".

I quite like Lowri, Alys and Mari.

Forgot to put Llinos too, it's a lovely name. I also like Lleucu, but it's probably practically unpronounceable for people outside Wales!
