I prefer Edith

babyblabber · 05/09/2016 20:26

Seren is beautiful

SmilingButClueless · 05/09/2016 20:29

I like Seren. And it might be useful for the children to have different initials in the future.

Jennywallpaper · 05/09/2016 20:31

I like Seren. It's lovely! And I think it goes really well with the other names.

gumdropss · 05/09/2016 20:31

I think they're both lovely names. Maybe wait until she's here and then decide what seems to fit best?

Edith

Seren is beautiful

LolaStarr · 05/09/2016 21:17

Definitely Seren! I have a DD on the way and she would have been Seren if DH hadn't vetoed it Angry

sleeplessinderbyshire · 05/09/2016 21:18

Seren

Angiepoise · 05/09/2016 21:19

Edith. Gorgeous. (I find Seren a made-up sort of name, sorry.)

DramaAlpaca · 05/09/2016 21:21

Seren, by a million miles.

flossyfloo · 05/09/2016 21:21

Angiepoise Seren is a Welsh name, means star.

ilovewelshrarebit123 · 05/09/2016 21:31

Seren is Welsh for star, it's a beautiful name.

ToffeeForEveryone · 05/09/2016 21:32

Seren

Scrumptiousbears · 05/09/2016 21:34

Not a fan of the older names coming back so Seren. Our DD2 wasn't named for a good few days whilst we decided.

Thank you so much, I think Seren is winning by far! Smile

Seren because I have one and she is awesome!!!
Do you live in Wales? We do but are from England and it's not a well known name in England, we get lots of compliments on it.

Most annoying thing was when someone asked me if it was short for Serendipity though. I mean seriously?!!

MrsGsnow18 · 05/09/2016 22:00

Although I do think Edith is a lovely name. I prefer Seren especially with your other children's names. I think different initials would be nice and gives each child a bit more individuality for when they are older.

Sazzle99 · 05/09/2016 22:07

I think Seren goes best with your other children :)

oldbirdy · 05/09/2016 22:11

Serena is common here, there are 2 in ds's class. It is a lovely name though.

LadyHarvey · 05/09/2016 22:13

If my boy was a girl, he would have been Edith!

Same here! I'm from Wales, but live in England. No 'Seren' here yet...!

This is so reassuring, thank you... It's so difficult naming the third when you know so many other children, want to be a little different, but not too 'out there' for the baby's sake! X
