NC'd!

Looking for a name for Lara's sister - we can't find anything we like apart from Seren and DH says it's too hard for people to say (really).

Help!! Flowers

How do you say Seren. I like the way I say it Grin

Serena? :)

I don't think Seren is too hard it's quite mainstream nowadays.

Mind you the iPhone thinks it's a typo - so who knows.

Thank you for the suggestions. I like Amy!

I LOVE Seren, though maybe I say it wrong? How does everyone else say it?! I say it like Sair-en but no emphasis on the R.

I know someone with a Seren. They pronounce it like seven with an r not a v.

i know twins called Phoebe and Lara, think they go really well together. I love Jennifer and Maggie. Tess and Jocelyn, Celia and Esther, Ruth and Elizabeth, all have great pet names that go well with Lara.

Hi Unoriginal, it's pronounced as OptiOna says, not as you were thinking.
It is a beautiful name, your husband may like it, if pronounced correctly.
Here's hoping. 😄

Gah now I'm confused! My Welsh side of the family say it like SAIR-en/SEHren if that makes sense.

These are all fantastic suggestions - thank you all so much. And most of them I had circled in my baby name book which is interesting! Time to draw up a new list methinks...

I really like Seren! I'd not heard it before, but didn't have any problem with pronunciation. And it goes well with Lara. Go for it :-)

CeriBerry · 02/10/2016 23:24

I'm Welsh first language, and I don't say it like Seven! Both e sounds in the name are like the e in pen. So se-ren not se-run.

I think Chloe goes with Lara.

But lovely name suggestions up thread.

Have fun with your little girls!
