So our personal favourite Briallen ruled out as most likely to end up with people saying Bree-Allen.

Sian a family name understand a bit Tracy/Susan now but at least people could pronounce it and well if Elsie has come back....

Seirian I like, Siriol DH likes and I’m okay with.

Eira I like but our surname is a colour so...

I like Glesni but again with our surname

I really like Siwan, a Welsh name and also Seren, which means star. :-)

Ohhh, I love siriol. Would’ve definitely been on my list for a girl.
Briall might be easier than briallen. Also very lovely.
They are all lovely names op. I think Eira would be fine with a colour if you use a middle name. Assuming your surname isn’t yellow, that is!
We just decided in the end to stop thinking about how they could be said incorrectly & chose names that we loved. I’m so glad we did.
Congratulations

How would you say Briallen?

Sian is classic, timeless.

Seirian is pretty. Siriol is not as strong.

Eira is lovely and travels well. Can't see a problem with any colour surname.

Glesni i'm not sure how to say it or what it means or why it wouldn't work with any colour.

You might need a Welsh-speaking forum to pick up on the semantics.
