Cornish boys names...

[legallyblond]

Apart from Petroc (great, but the name of a relatively local college), what are some of the more user friendly / less unusual Cornish boys names? Oh, and girls names while we're here!

Dont't know any boys names, but marking place with:

Demelza
Tryphena
Tamsin
Tamar
Cordelia
Damaris (I don't know that this is strictly Cornish, but I see it a lot on west country 19th C censuses)

Jago
Meryn

Rowena (girl)

watching....

Does anyone know about Ennor? Cornish right? Is it "en-na"? Meaning?

I think Lamorna Birch (artist) was a bloke but basically, pick any place name you like. I've come across girls called Veryan and Mawgan.

I'm sure there must be traditional names in the Cornish language too... there'll be books.

Seth. Lovely, lovely name.

Piran for a boy

Nessa or Sennen for a girl

Loveday, it's my name

I love Loveday! Another one I see doing west country genealogy.

I quite like Kenan for a boy. And Kerensa for a girl. I had a Cornish girl in my class at school with this name years ago, and I've always thought it was very pretty.

Tristan

Jago and Pierran.

Tristan has reminded me - for girls, I also love Isolde/Isolda.

My dd is merryn but it can be spelt meryn or merin for a boy :)

Densil Penberthy?

Denzil Penberthy? Whos that again?

Jethro's mate (old fucker emoticon)

Of course, for a min i thought you might know an old boyfriend of mine I'm an old fucker too then!
