Girl - three syllables

37 replies

PumpingRSI · 23/03/2024 09:02

Expecting baby no.3 (girl) and our previous two fit into some naming conventions I'd love the continue for this one. So...

Three syllables with nickname option.
I like vowels together, think Beatrice, Sylvia, Marianne.

Not too popular, in fact I'd go quite unusual if poss and possibility of international (Europe) use of name in the future.

Help?!

@NuffSaidSam , it's Car-yad. It's one of those words with lots of meanings depending on context.
Her name is quite literally 'Lloyd's Girlfriend'.

I suppose it depends on where the OP is Perhaps one to avoid if she's in Wales! Works fine elsewhere though and is three syllables at least for some.

Cariad is only 2 syllables @NuffSaidSam . It's also awful as a name.

Edited

It's three syllables with my accent, but I'm not a Welsh speaker.

I'd pronounce it the same as the actress Cariad Lloyd ....Ca-ri-ad.

I love it as a name, but it's good we don't all like the same names isn't?! Wouldn't want little Cariad to be one of 20 in her class!
