Welsh Girl names.

[Kayzr]

We've decided to give DD due in June a Welsh middle name. DP is Welsh and we'd love to sort of honour that.

She's going to be called Rosalie and is also having Jean as a middle name.

We like Carys, Aerona, Rhiannon, Eilwen, Isolde, Ffion, Olwen.

We need some help picking and we'd love some other suggestions too.

Thanks.

Aeronwen
Branwen
Cadi
Delor
Eira
Fflur
Glain
Haf
Iola
Lilwen
Manon
Nia
Olwen
Swyn
Tesni
Wenna

Also, because she's due in June, what about Mefin? It is a shortening of Mehefin (Welsh word for June) and was mainly used for girls until the rugby player Mefin Davies became well known, and now it's more unisex.

Isolde isn't a Welsh name :)

Everyone says Isolde isn't a welsh name but it's in the welsh baby name book I got from the library.

Meant to add its very confusing. stupid phone.

I think the problem might be finding one I can say

I know a little Anwen, I think that's very pretty.

DD is a Seren.

Hundreds of them in Wales, apparently, but far far fewer in South London :) Easy to say, easy to spell.

Seren and Bronwen are lovely.

Both my kids have very unusual Gaelic names but theyre both easy to spell/ pronounce, thatd be my tip.

Well, all I can add to that is that I am Welsh-speaking, and have been forever, and I've never met or heard of a Welsh Isolde. The Welsh version is the very pretty Esyllt (admittedly quite difficult to pronounce if you don't speak Welsh!)

Magw is getting popular too...

Carys, Elin, and seren work very well outside Wales iyswim.

Llinos is harder to say but pretty.

Megan, Cariad, Cerys (? I know a few but not sure its welsh), Sian, Rhian, Anwen, Mari,

I love Seren too but DP isn't keen on it. Bronwen makes me think of Fireman Sam.

Is there a Bronwen on fireman sam???

it makes me think of Bronwen who was in neighbours - showing my age

Yes she's Sarah and James's mum. She's fairly new. She certainly wasn't in it when I was little

Oh yeah i remember now shes the hippy isnt she??

How on earth do you pronounce Magw?

Magoo like Mr Magoo, except the stress is on the a
I think it's a bit odd

Magoo was my guess but I thought "No, it couldn't possibly be..."

:o
I don't know where it came from- I hadn't heard of it, and now I know four little ones!

Eirlys was another on my list of possible names for DD

I think I might rule out Magw.

I might just stick them in a hat and get one of the boys to pick one out

I've just named my 4 week old Celyn Sionedd - but others we considered were Eleri, Manon, Gwendolen/Gwenllian, Mali and Mari. DD1 has dolls called Ffion and Betsan and Jesus, but i don't think that qualifies as Welsh

Welsh names are fab!!

Eirlys? That would have been my choice for a middle name if Ds had been DD.

Eirlys is lovely.

Glad you're letting one of your DCs pick from a selection Kayzr- I know one big brother that got to choose a sister's name. He was into Ghostbusters, and Janine is now about twenty-five!

deemented Who says Jesus wasn't Welsh? :o

Enfys! pronounced Envis...it means rainbow I believe. Beautiful name !

We have Alys. Easy to pronounce but people do assume it's spelled Alice.

Love carys.
