mn name challenge :P

[QuoththeRaven]

im stuck. i really am. Naming my DS was easy, im 22 weeks pregnant with a little girl and i have no clue about names

so i pass the challenge onto you lovely mnetters.

I like unusual names but not too far out
mainly anglo/celtic/welsh etc in origin
our last name begins with a "peh" sound
her brothers name is sam (but they dont have to go together)

looked through the baby name finder, all i came up with were

Esme
Ailith
Morven

please help :)

oh and we want her to have a middle name but with no family names :)

scandanavian names very welcome too!

Welsh names:

Elin, Medi, Llinos, Seren, Cerys, Taryn, Esyllt, Gwenan, Lowri, Eira, Enfys, Mali

Right, have some Cornish ones:

Morwenna
Lowenna
Demelza
Morvah
Lamorna
Alys
Jennifer/Genevre
Sennen
Zennor

lovng these :) especially Morwenna, Alys and Gwenan keep them coming you clever ladies!

Elin
Marta
Inge
Malene

Orla / Orlaith
Aine
Clodagh
Niamh
Aiveen/ Aoibhinn

for some Irish names

Gwendolyn
Mari
Lauren
Elen
Mae
Zara

Welsh names are so pretty! (most of the time). Have my Celtic baby names book in front of me and I like Ceridwen, Maeve, Delyth, Eithne, Elowen, Gwen, Rowena, Maiwen, Nesta, Olwen, Tamsin...

I just found: Nárbflhfhlaith in my book.....if you're feeling brave!

lol binkster, if i used that i would feel like i was sneezing!

Eithne was one i thought of, but DH doesnt like it. think it means little fire.

Never heard Maiwen, thats quite pretty...

Vibeke

Clodagh - This is Irish but not really gaelic. It's after the river Cloddy in Tipperary and a Lord living in Ireland called his daughter Clodagh after this river, and the name came into useage. But, over a hundred years ago. It's not new.

Olwen - A welsh name that I just love.

Nollaig - Gaelic for Christmas, and if your baby is due in 18 weeks, will it be about Christmas then

What about Gwyneth? If you can put GP out of your mind it's a good strong name.

Just bumping this thread, hope it keeps going as it's given me two more names that I love (Seren and Talyn... already had Elin)

and I would add:

Megan
Eleri
Bethan
Maeve

Beibhinn (pr 'Bevin') -- lovely Irish name that sounds a bit Welsh.
Marsaili (Scottish, sounds a bit like pars(e)ley)
Ailidh
Angharad
Eily -- Irish pet form of Eileen that's much nicer than Eileen imo.

Astrid
Dagmar
Ingrid
Linnea
Marit (Norwegian 'Margaret')

ooh liking! although rather irritatingly dh is saying no to everything i now suggest :(

Welsh names for you;

Lowri - my name and therefore the best - btw the 'ow' rhymes with 'snow' not 'cow'
Eleri
Elin
Delyth
Eirlys
Ffion
Alys
Mali
Nansi
Sian
Megan
Gwendolyn

Half my family are listed there :)
