Welsh girl name

[Hiphopopotamus]

Hi everyone

Due to having a lot of welsh blood in me (despite living in London) I really want a welsh name for my daughter. At the moment I'm leaning towards Meredith. Does anyone have any thoughts, or better suggestions?

My favourite Welsh girls' names are Manon, Angharad and Ffion. All lovely

[Spyrofan]

Lleucu, cadi, ela mai, Mali fflur, braint, magi, awena, caryl, grug.

[MothershipG]

Meironwen, love it, unfortunately not Welsh enough at all! to use it!

[poorbuthappy]

Menna?

[Whydobabiescry]

What about Mair? Pronounced my-arr I've always thought it pretty. Or alternatively I have a soft spot for Lleony pronounced Clee-O- nee.

My favourite girls names which also happen to be Welsh:
Fflur
Manon

Take care to check how non welsh speakers pronounce any names first. As you'll be living outside of wales it needs to be easy and straightforward to pronounce.
I have a friend called Gwenan who moved to England and is now known as Gwen because of people mispronouncing her name and you wouldn't even think it would be hard to pronounce.

I like Mai, Seren, Alwenna, Llinos and Cerys. All good welsh names

My daughter is 5 and goes to a Welsh speaking school, these are some girls names:

Cerys, Eleri, Medi, Carys, Elin, Mabli, Ffion,Ceridwen, Lowri, Mair.

My DD name is the first one and i get loads of comments about it going

Since I'll not get to use it myself - Adwen.

[Bejeena]

I want a Welsh name too and am quite keen on Enid for a girl at the moment.

Ffion? I like it.
My mum wanted to call me Mair but said that English people always pronounced it my-er so I am named something quite different.
I've never liked Angharad, too harsh sounding (but also went to school with a complete cow by that name which may have coloured my judgement a little.

[CheeseStrawWars]

I adore the name Angharad.

[Mrsrobertduvall]

Ooh my name has been mentioned....

I have an Auntie Eirwen too.

Rhian. Rhiannon?

[TotallyEggFlipped]

Angharad

[alexpolismum]

My favourite Welsh girls names are Bethan and Eleri.

I like Meredith in a Welsh accent, but somehow it loses its magic when said in an English accent. For me, that is. (and I have an English accent!)

[BikeRunSki]

My favorite girl's name ever is Elin. Catrin and Eleri are lovely too.

[Leeds2]

Megan. Bronwen. Eleri, I think, is Welsh!

[TalkativeJim]

Buddug

[lycheemartini]

I love Mabli (loveable)

[TwllBach]

I like Heledd and Gwenllian.

Welsh names are fabulous

[PaulaPixie]

It can be male / female, lovely strong name either way x

[SadPander]

I only know of female Meredydds where I am in Wales so perhaps it depends on where abouts you are - think its a lovely name btw

[mejon]

Meredith/Meredydd is usually a boy's name in Welsh.

How about Mared as an alternative?
