Verity - ok, a bit ferrety
Hallie - doesn't seem like a name
Tessa - love Tess
Anya - ok, prefer Anna
Kaia - ok but Hiya Kaia!
Seren - not keen on the Serrun sound
Lena - don't know how to say it, too much like Luna
Lila - don't like it. Lily is nicer
Cara - like, also like Sara
Anwen - seems an odd choice

Love them all except Anwen...but this is a personal bias based on THE most evil headteacher I've ever had the misfortune to work with 🤦‍♀️😨

Favourite name on the list is Tessa 💓

Verity and Seren are the nicest on your list.

I don't like any of the others.

No Welsh family, just really happened to like some of the Welsh names! I have a lot of Irish family but think Irish names would probably end up getting mispronounced and confuse a lot of people since we live in England!

I like all of them except verity and seren.

Anwen sounds welsh? (Is there a welsh connection?)

Seren is Welsh too!
