Middle Names for Cerys?

31 replies

PieMistress · 28/05/2012 20:09

I think we have finally decide on this if bubs is a girl. I did dither for ages that it might be too similar to Ds's name (kyle) but given that for most of their lives will be known as separate people decided it didn't really matter as I love the name!

So far for middle names I like Grace & Megan. Any other suggestions? would like something scots Celtic? oh and can't begin with an F !!

Thanks pie x

Bronwyn

Ps Cerys is the most beautiful name in the whole world

stressheaderic · 28/05/2012 21:34

I adore this name and wish I'd heard of it/remembered it when I had my DD. It really goes with our surname too

Oooon i like Bronwyn! DP also likes Mae but I'm not sure....

We loved this name before we had DS but deep down I am sure it's going to be a boy and I'm too old to try again!

Jane?
Eleanor?

heartstart · 28/05/2012 21:48

Elin
Siriol
Mabon
Catrin
Seren

lagoonhaze · 28/05/2012 21:51

Jasmine

Not Seren - it just doesn't go with the double s s. I love Seren as a nane however.

I liked Seren as a first name but DP not keen at all, boo!

He really likes Olivia as middle name. Would prefer something scottish though but could be persuaded if I really liked it!

Cerys Megan sounds lovely :) Grace is a lovely name too but too much "s" sound with Cerys.

Fireandashes · 28/05/2012 22:01

Iona
Evelyn
Heather
Morag
Morven
Rowena

DogEared · 28/05/2012 22:05

Mabon is a boys' name.
Be careful with Bronwyn too... -wyn is the masculine form, -wen is the feminine (though it's such a common mistake that quite a lot of people have used Bronwyn instead of Bronwen, so I guess it is a name now.)
Cerys Haf
Cerys Eira
Cerys Fflur
Cerys Nia

heartstart · 28/05/2012 22:07

Dog I know but friends daughter called it, they're welsh speakers and so I assumed they would know!!

DharmaBumpkin · 28/05/2012 22:10

Was also going to suggest Cerys Haf :)

I like Cerys Megan too.

Cerys Agnes
Cerys Ailsa
Cerys Blair
Cerys Enya
Cerys Grier
Cerys Iona
Cerys Ismay
Cerys Rowena

lagoonhaze · 28/05/2012 22:42

Morwenna (Cornish but still Celtic)

agora1 · 29/05/2012 07:05

Smile really pleased you decided to go for Cerys. I have a Cerys Jayne, but a Scottish equivalent would be Cerys Jean.

Other suggestions:

Cerys Eilidh
Cerys Heather
Cerys Lorna

Some non Scots suggestions:
Cerys Rose
Cerys Elizabeth

I like Cerys Megan but it does make her name very Welsh and if you want a Scottish connection it doesn't really work. I agree too many /s/ for Cerys Grace to work. I like Cerys Olivia though.

DP is very keen on Cerys Olivia, my only concern is how popular Olivia is in the name charts (although I don't know any!) although for a middle name guess it doesn't matter as much!

I don't think we will use Megan on the very very very unlikely off chance there would be a DC3 as it was a very close contender to Cerys. The only reason we didn't go for it is one of my friend's daughter has the same name.

I like Elizabeth and Rose, but DP not keen (he's hard to please!), do like Eilidh, Morgan and Morven though ...

Bizarrely my own name has been suggested twice!

Why is a middle name so difficult! :-P And we haven't even started on middle names if it's a boy!

Do you think Cerys works better with a longer or shorter middle name? Our surname is 2 syllables

I would've voted for Cerys Megan...but if you might have another girl then save Megan for the next one. Agree Cerys Grace doesn't work too well. Olivia is a great choice, who cares if it's popular if you're only using it as a middle name. And also doesn't "waste" a name you wouldn't use as a first name!
I'm not sure if these are at all Scottish (I'm canadian), but what about:

Cerys Isla
Cerys Alexa
Cerys Elise
Cerys Mia

lagoonhaze · 31/05/2012 17:24

I liked slightly longer middle name.

PieMistress · 31/05/2012 19:14

The only longer middle name suggestion I can think of is Elizabeth but DP not keen. Maybe I should just use Megan, chances of another DC after this are slim considering I'm 40!

Not read whole thread so may be a repeat....
Cerys Grace - too many 's' sounds
Cerys Megan - OK
Cerys Mirren - prefer it to Megan and more Scottish

For longer middle name (which I think does work better), although not necessarily Celtic, suggest:
Cerys Amelia
Cerys Helena (pr. Heh-lay-na)
Cerys Jemima
Cerys Hermione
Cerys Danielle

lagoonhaze · 31/05/2012 21:51

Cerys Elizabeth Grace

Just thought I would let you know we decided on Cerys Eilidh :-)

It was a girl despite us being convinced it would be a boy!
