DILYS, Delyth

[cornishglos]

Hello,
Can anyone help me with the pronunciation of these names?
I think one means 'honest' and the other means 'pretty thing'.
We have Welsh heritage but no welsh speakers.
I'm not really looking for an 'unusual' name, but, depending on how these sound, think they could be pretty but not too 'out there'.
Help/ opinions appreciated. Thanks

Dill-iss
Dell-ith.

Dilys makes me think of Dilys Price from Fireman Sam but I rather like it.

As Mrs said. Though Delyth is rather lispy sounding

I really like Dilys. Have never heard of Delyth.

Reading it and never having heard it spoken, I would assume that Delyth is pronounced De-LITH or d'LITH, with the emphasis on the second syllable.

You'd be wrong then *Hearts" /

Delyth is a perfectly normal, fairly common name in Wales.

Dilys more of an old lady's name (IMO).

Wasn't Roland Rat's girlfriend called Dilys?

Dilys is quite an old lady name in my head

ooh cross posts

Dilys is a wonder name. I was just thinking this morning what an utterly lovely that name is.

Dell-ith
It's a lovely name
Dill-is not as keen.

Thank you all.

I wasn't sure how they'd sound to Welsh speakers. I like them, but Dilys sounds too close to Phyllis, and Delyth is a bit lispy. I'm also prone to nn, so would prefer Della (Delyth) to Dilly (Dilys).
I wish the sound 'Del-is' were a real name!

So I think frontrunners are: Anna, Helen (Hen/ Nelly), Delyth.

I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again. You have no control over what nickname a child ends up with once they leave your house.

I was going to post in similar vein MrsLeigh.

I can think of another noun that Dilys sounds a bit too close to other than Phyllis, and I would avoid it therefore.

How about Della?
