Currently my favourite out of my shortlist. Welsh name, though she'll be mostly English, living in England. Pronounced Low-ree (as in opposite of high). Thoughts?

Great but people will say it like the painter Lowry. (Lawri) . The ow is shorter than in the english word low.

Well it’s my name and I love it. I live in Wales but I have never had any issues with people getting it wrong in England. If anything it’s worse in Wales as I get low-ree (my actual pronounciation) and Lough-ree in equal measures.
