My sister is a Sian and loves it, most poelpe know how to say / spell it now (although she was Stan to many people in her childhood LOL)

Alys, Meagn, Rhian,Cerys / Carys all common in the babies at our school, a few Serens on here but none I have actually met in RL Wales LOL

Dil-ith, I think.

I love Meredith - it's our first choice, and we both love Merry for her nn, and also love Ellwyn.

only sounds like that if you say it wrong

Lulubee · 02/01/2009 00:03

Oooh please not Myfanwy! Sounds like My Fanny.

Some of the others are gorgeous though, Arianwen and Carys/Cerys especially.

There's a little girl called Delyth in my son's class but she gets it shortened to Deli.

Anwen

We were going to call our 2nd child Arianwen (it means more precious than riches) but he's turned out to be a boy! Still love the name though. I'm a Druid and it can be shortened to Awen (pronounced Ah-oo-wen), which roughly equates to 'the force that runs through all of us'.

Heulwen
Branwen
