Traditional but uncommon and maybe some welsh

[deerman]

So me and my DW are expecting our first DC but we can't seem to find any names we both like. We also don't know if we are having a son or a daughter.

We both like traditional names but DW doesn't want anything too common.
She would also like something welsh either as a first name or a middle name.

So could you all please suggest some baby names for us

My DS is called Morgan. Has the advantage of not being mispronounced outside of Wales too!

I went to school with a ceinwein - I always thought that was a cool name

FlyDragonfly, I have never heard that - what a beautiful name.

Ffion, Megan, Cari, Anwen

Ewan (strictly Iwan in Wales but I prefer the Ewan McGregor spelling), Evan, Dylan, Harri, Steffan.

Branwen
Idris

Efa is not pronounced Ava!

I'm a Ceri- it's served me well
I like Osian, Owain, Macsen, Iago and Elgan for boys!
Cadi, Alys, Gwen, Betsi and Aneira for girls

Teilo - for a boy

Taliesin is my brave boys name, or Aneurin or Caredig. Emlyn has that old man chic.
Love Osian and Ianto too.

I love all of these, too, especially Taliesin (nn Tal), Aneurin and Ianto. I also like Llyr but that may be a bit much if you live outside of Wales.

I love Bronwyn, Anwen, Seren, Megan, Catrin, Branwen and Celyn for a girl.

If you're going to use Bronwen it should be spelt correctly.

Olwen or Elis

My favourite Welsh Girl's name is 'Nest'

Make sure, if you use it, that you pronounce Aneurin correctly as Ah-neigh-rin

I used to know an Eirlys, which is very pretty.

Angharad is also nice.

And I have an uncle Elwyn.

My favourite Welsh names are Rhydian or Iestyn for a boy and Eira and Mali for a girl.

CeriBerry Phonetically Efa would sound like Ava, the E sounds like the A in air, the f is a v sound.

Yes but the E is shorter than Air so it's more like Ever but with a short A sound on the end. Well it is where I am anyway- up in the welshest part of North Wales where I know about 10- it's nothing like Ava!

eh-va
as opposed to "Ava" which I pronounce "ay-va"
