Amgharad?

[Jic]

Opinions please on this very welsh name. Dh thinks it's a bit harsh sounding but I rather like it. It means much loved one in welsh for a girl by the way!

Sorry, Angharad

I have heard Angharad which I think is quite nice if one likes Welsh names? Is Amgharad a version of this?

is it not spelt with N rather than M ?
Angharad?
I find it hard to get my mouth around.

ah x-post. :)

sorry x posts

It's lovely and I have a lovely intelligent friend called Angharad

It's a beautiful name. All the Angharads I have known have been lovely.

it's lovely but it is hard for people to say right
if it is going to bother you when people pronounce it wrong for years and years then don't do it
(i speak from experience)

Yes I like it - but Im welsh & can pronounce it

I think I can pronounce it but not sure. Can anyone spell out phonetically how it is pronounced please?

I knew a girl at school with the name - I thought it was pronounced Ann-Harrod, but I'm probably wrong!

I love it. Welsh girls names are lovely. However, I have been unable to use girls names as I have two boys; Rhodri and Brychan . I live in welsh speaking Wales so I can pronounce it.

Thanks Funky, my father is Welsh but I am not familiar with Welsh pronunciation.

Angharad said in a harsh Midlands accent - where I live,(with a hard G and the end part "harrad") wouldn't do the name justice imo!

Sorry, I don't like it.

There used to be a news presenter in Wales called Angharad, and I'm not so keen on the name, to be honest. What about Cariad or Blodwyn??

It's different.

But people wont know how to say it. I met a girl at school with the name and I thoguht her name was Anne Harrod. So i called her Anne until she corrected me!

Yes it seems there would be difficulty in pronouncing it if not living in Wales! Like cariad actually

i like that name. remember Demelza in Poldark was played by the actress with that name.

I think Cariad would be easy for non-Welsh people, too I think it means 'love', a term of endearment.

Love it, but I am welsh and possibly a bit biased! Are you in Wales? If so, slightly less chance of mis-pronunciation (only slight though!) To me though, welsh is pretty phonetic, no?

I knew a woman called this; she called herself AJ instead (I assume that J was her surname) - utterly hated her name that nobody could pronounce.

I am Welsh and think it's an ugly name

My nephew's girlfriend is called Anwen, which I think is lovely. And easy to spell and pronounce for non Welsh speakers!

I had a friend at school with this name. She hated it, and while I don't hate the name I don't think anyone pronounced it here (North London) the way kit was meant to be pronounced. She shortened it to 'Arry Harry.
