Welsh names that are easy to pronounce

60 replies

FairfaxAikman · 29/04/2019 11:31

I am Scottish, DH is half Welsh and we live in Scotland.
DS has the most Scottish name it's possible to have (through accident rather than design as he's named after people). Not quite Angus Fergus MacDonald but not far off - paint him blue and he'd yell Freedom!

Anyhoo, for DC2 we'd like to incorporate a Welsh name somewhere in honour of DHs mum. Sex currently unknown.
I like Eira for a girl but think it will probably end up being mispronounced up here.
Suggestions please for Welsh names that won't be mangled by my fellow Scots

Huw is cute although I think they nickname them Shugs in Scotland
Ceri would possibly work?

I love Trystan (pronounced Tristan) for a boy, he was a Welsh Knight and the name mean Noise! Perfect for some DS I know.
I always want to name my DD Seren (pronounced Ce-ren) which mean Star in Welsh. Both I think would be easy to say in Scotland.

Eira is lovely but you'll get Ira or Ay-ruh, neither of which are nice.
