We are looking to give our DD2 a Cornish
name (DH's roots) but do not live England anymore, so I've no idea of what's popular in Cornwall. I currently like Tamara or Tamsin, but I've also heard Zena is Cornish but I can't find any info on the internet. Can anyone from Cornwall confirm this?

My DH's grandmother was Loveday but can't quite bring myself to call our DD2 that - bit too unusual.
Scorpio1: is Tamara a commonly used name, this is my favourite at the moment?

Thought as much about Zena, I was sure it wasn't cornish but just wanted to check with any Cornish people out there.

I think 'Morwenna' is a Cornish name. Not sure about Zena.
