Last minute name doubt!

I was set on the name Seren if baby turns out to be a girl but now having last minute doubts! We live in England and have no obvious welsh connection. I doubt family/ friends have heard of the name Seren before.I guess I am worried about reactions and crazy pronunciations... I had been thinking about this name before baby was conceived but now not so sure.. Is this the hormones?

I am having similar doubts about one of the boys names I had previously loved! Argh!

I chose my daughters name before she was born and told the midwifes during my labour. When they would refer to the baby as her name it made me panic because it was all the more real and I suddenly wondered if I was so sure after all! Anyway the moment she was born I knew it was the right name for her and now I love it more than ever 😍

Your family will just be happy that your baby is here and well 😊

Love Seren!

It’s lovely.

Looking at it I thought it might be a Scandi name.

Presume pronounced Serren?

It's not hard to pronounce at all. It sometimes gets misheard as Sarah as people tend to "hear" a name they recognise IYSWIM.

It's beautiful!

I don’t like it personally but it’s your choice. It certainly gets mentioned on here a lot.

I've met a Seren at a baby club a few years ago, really liked the name and didn't even realise it was Welsh. Definitely use it, it's lovely

I’ll be honest I don’t know how to pronounce it but I wouldn’t avoid it - it looks lovely & people will only need to be told once

Rainbowqueeen · 10/09/2019 07:41

Agreed. Lovely lovely name

I love the name Seren, and know a non-Welsh one. It's a lovely name and it's not difficult to spell or pronounce.
