We are Welsh and looking for some lovely names for either sex. We aren't totally set on using a Welsh name but the right one may sway us Daffodil

Sorry that should be Seren, not Serena. I clearly didn't check for autocorrect before I posted!

I don't think where you live matters. My dd has a Hriday in her class (not even sure what the origin is), but he said his name once and now she can pronounce it. People will learn to say the name and if they claim it's too hard, then they just don't want to learn. I'd never not choose a name I love because some people want to be difficult.

are you In Wales or out of Wales. Only saying as if not Welsh, people may struggle with out to pronounce names. I mean I am never sure if I prenonce Angharad properly. This may not bother you, but might be something to consider.
