Struggling to decide on a baby girl name- we like Anya or Cerys. Middle name will be Josephine. Have a family member called Anna- is it too close?

Both lovely names. If I had to choose it would be Cerys because of its beautiful meaning.

We would pronounce it ker-is, DH is welsh ☺️

I'd go for Cerys, such a lovely name.

Anya has a nice sound, and is easier to spell/pronounce. As long as you ignore her being a former vengeance demon.

I think Anya will be pronounced closer to what you are wanting, more than Cerys. I'm a native English speaker, but not familiar with either names.

I would say Anya as Ann-ya

Cerys- could be Cherries, Cherees, Cher-is, Ker-is. Sorry, I'm not sure how you want it pronounced?

Anya is really beautiful, that was on our list.

I like Anya, it's a nice name that you don't hear too often. Don't think it's too close to Anna.
