We live in England now but met and spent a lot of time in Wales and would quite like to give DC2 a Welsh name.

We both really like Bethan, but I'd love to hear ideas of any other Welsh names that aren't difficult for English people to pronounce! Mainly girls, we're pretty stuck on Dylan for a boy.

Mmnn, I like Seren = star

I know an Arian, which is Welsh for silver.
Eirlys means snowdrop, Eirwen is white snow - both pretty, and topical!

Bronwyn, Carys, Imogen, Rhiannon, Seren

All have been on my shortlist but veto-ed for one reason or another!

I love Bethan!

We live in England, I am Welsh and DH is English. Our DD is Alys... We've already had a few problems with pronounciation and DH's family can't seem to get the spelling right (we've had Alice, Alis, Alyc and Alic so far!) and we picked it because we thought it wasn't too controversial or difficult

llareggub's list is good . I also like Eleri and Cerys.

My most favorite girls name ever is Elin. I am neither welsh or the mother of a girl, so please use it for me!

We chose Meredith Carys for our DD...
