Arianwen, Betsi, Blodwen, Bethan, Branwen, Cari, Cadi, Ceinwen, Ceridwen, Cerian, Ceris, Delun, Eirwen, Eiry, Elen, Elisabeth, Esyllt, Ffion, Gwawr, Gwen, Hanna, Heledd, Lilwen, Mali, Mai, Mari, Menna, Nansi, Nia, Rhian, Sali, Sara, Sian, Tegan, Tirion...
Sorry for any duplications.
Lots of my favourite welsh girls names end in -wen (white) which is lovely but sounds naff with our surname which begins with w :(
Some of the prettiest names sound awful if mispronounced, so might be best to avoid if you're not in Wales/welsh speaking area - thinking of Eleri, Fflur, Eurgain, Llinos, Esyllt, Gwawr.

Thank you emmalina, I never knew you cared Grin.

I've got to say, I don't think I'd inflict Dilys on an innocent baby though - but Cerys, Seren and Rhiannon are lovely.

All I can think of when I hear "Myfanwy" is of Matt Lucas in a leather get up. Not nice Grin

My favorite girls names in the world are both a Welsh, Elin and Carys.

Since I was a child my dd was going to be myfanwy then little Britain ruined it

taneth
carys
charis

TwllBach · 20/04/2012 13:40

Meinir is one I heard the other day. I liked it a lot and (I think) it could be shortened to May.

I also like Heledd.

I love threads like this, DP is welsh and we live in Wales so I'm always on the look out for pretty welsh names Grin

Limelight · 20/04/2012 13:47

We've got an Anwen which we 'shorten' to Annie quite frequently. Welsh girl's names are beautiful!

therewasatime · 20/04/2012 13:49

Cariad
Elinor

I love Cariad, means my love.

perceptionreality · 20/04/2012 13:50
