Aurelia (nickname Reia)...?

Aurelia Seren (golden star 🌟)
Aurelia Arwen
Aurelia Ffion
Aurelia Eira
Aurelia Eirlys
Aurelia Rhosyn
Aurelia Celyn

Open to other Welsh suggestions... DH is Welsh and our son has a Welsh middle name. I'm English though so need something I can pronounce, I think I've got my head round all of the above (broadly).

Thanks so much everyone. I don't really like middle names that are standard 'middle name' type names if that makes sense, they just seem like place fillers to me. Thanks for the suggestions 😊 Liking Seren, Ffion and Cerys most at the moment.

Bethan
Haf

I think you def want it to start with a consonant otherwise it will sounds like one long name

Wombat96 · 21/09/2021 13:51

Mai

Aurelia Seren or Aurelia Carys.

DacwMamYnDwad · 20/09/2021 23:03

Arwen is from Lord Of The Rings, but is occasionally used but with the Ar bit like the ar in Carol or Carys.

Haf doesn't have a circumflex.

Caitlin is irish. If it was welsh it would be pronounced Kite-lin.

Aurelia Rhiannon?

WhenZoomWasJustAnIceLolly · 20/09/2021 22:21

Some lovely suggestions here.

Arwen and Caitlin aren’t Welsh, although Arwen sounds like it could be.

@Emmelina

When I saw your title, I immediately thought Seren. Glad to see you’d also thought of it! That would be my choice. Aurelia Seren.
Same here!
WellTidy · 20/09/2021 22:11

Catrin or Haf would be lovely. Bethan?

TommyShelby · 20/09/2021 22:06

Haf
Gwawr

Non?

LadyCarolineDester · 20/09/2021 12:54

Haf
Gwen

DacwMamYnDwad · 20/09/2021 12:48

Heledd - Hell-eth but with the 'th' like the th in this, that, there not th as in thing, think, bath

DacwMamYnDwad · 20/09/2021 12:46

Aurelia Mair (My with r on the end)

DacwMamYnDwad · 20/09/2021 12:35

I doubt that you would get the pronunciation of Eira, Eirlys or Rhosyn right. I'm not keen on Seren, Celyn, Rhosyn, or Eirlys.

Ffion is nice but is more of a first name than a middle name

I really wouldn't call my child Golden Snow (never eat yellow snow)- so wouldn't use Eira.

I'd go for something that is more of a middle name like Mai or Haf (not really suitable for a winter baby), or use a name with strong consonants like Catrin or Bronwen.

spiderlight · 20/09/2021 11:38

Aurelia Siân flows quite nicely.

daisypond · 20/09/2021 06:40

It needs a consonant to start or it could be too vowel heavy. Ffion is nice. Seren is a bit naff now surely.

anguauberwaldironfoundersson · 20/09/2021 05:54

Aurelia Enfys

Anon778833 · 20/09/2021 05:44

I'd go for Seren
