What do people think? It's Welsh for star. DH is 1/4 Welsh, his grandmother (most beloved and now gone) had a very welsh name which she hated but we'd like to honor her in some way.

LanaorAna2 kids get teased for all sorts of things, but Seren being compared to soreen? I doubt it.

It’s on my list for this baby. This I’ll hang around in case of other lovely names being mentioned

Isn't it one letter off that malt loaf you get in corner shops? Sereen? Smal kids' fave, will she get teased?

Beautiful name.

It’s very popular around here, we are in Wales though.

It's actually quite sad as I really like DGMs name but it's marred by how much she hated it!

No, we don't live in Wales and its unlikely we ever will leghairdontcare DHs gran had a very Welsh name, which she hated due to its welshness but was also very proud of her welsh heritage.

Love it, if I'd had DGD it would have been her middle name

Xiaoxiong · 02/09/2018 21:20

Gorgeous and one of my all time favourite names. My DSs would have been either Seren, Olwen or Karenza if they'd turned out DDs.

leghairdontcare · 02/09/2018 21:19

I'm assuming you don't live in Wales?

It's fine but I think it's one of those names that is becoming boring because they're used by people who want something Welsh but not too Welsh.

Beautiful name
