Struggling to find a cornish boys name

[mrspir8]

My OH is a scot DD1 is named Isla, he got his scottish name!

I am cornish so I want our 2nd child to have a cornish name. Hubby is very conservative, especially for a boys name. His only suggestion is Tom or Tam. Tam I do like but it's another bloomin scots name so not fair!

Do not want Demelza or Karenza, Trevelyan, Piran, those are jaw achingly boring if you are cornish. Surname is Bevan

Choices are girl:
Morvah
Merryn
Tean
Hendra (more commonly a boys name)

Boy:

Jago
Ennor
Tean
Tyack

I LOVE Jago. Really cool I think and can be shortened to Jay which is very normal and conservative sounding.

I am worried that Tean is a bit, ahem, chavvy? (winces away from possible flaming-sorry) and the same for Tyack-because you know it will be shortened to Ty. I am not sure about Ennor but i think it's unusual and therefore interesting.

My ds (10) is called Jago and loves having a name that's a bit different!

I have a Tristan, but perhaps too mainstream now? Love it as it's very romantic.

Jago sounds cool.

Does anyone know where i can get a book of cornish names?

Some Cornish boys names and meanings:

Zethar (seagull)
Carlin (the little champion)
Ennor (from the boundary)
Gorran (a hero)
Menadue (from the dark hill)

I like Ennor too.

Have you considered 'Cadan' (pronounced kay-den) , the cornish version of 'Paul' (so I was told!).

Otherwise, love 'Ennor'.

Perrin?

My nephew is Piran but you've ruled that out already - shame but I understand its probably quite popular in Cornwall. What about Jory - Cornish for George

For DD2 I loved Nessa - Cornish for second! We didn't for it in the end, still love it though

Jago sounds very cool. How about Jessamy for a girl?

I love Jago and would have had it myself if a friend hadn't taken it first. It's a great name.

I love Perrin - do you think I could get away with using it when we are not remotely Cornish? (We have a Dylan and are also not Welsh)

How common is Perrin in Cornwall? Can you spell it Perren?

I thought Kester was a Cornish version of Christopher-I love that and really like Jago too.

I have many names in my mind but which one would you like. It will be better if I share a link which have a large list of Cornish boy and girl names with meaning and numerology ..that is
