Carys or Cerys?

[pineapplebush]

I'm assuming they're said as Kah-riss and Keh-riss, or have I got that completely wrong? DP was Welsh (passed away during beginning of pregnancy) and unfortunately, I don't know much about Welsh names :( first name will be Violet.

Thank you :)

Cerys

So sorry to hear of your loss. Yes that is how they are pronounced and both are lovely names. Both are Welsh and mean loved. Violet Cerys sounds better imho.

Cerys all the way! nice name
Carys is like "oh don't use that mug that's Carys's special mug! she'll ban you from the Christmas party if you move it"

With Violet I'd choose Cerys.

Yes, I love the meaning! Thank you :) seems like Cerys is the winner then! Violet Cerys is okay, isn't it?

Both lovely but Cerys has the edge for me, both how it sounds and because of the brilliant Cerys Matthews.

Violet Cerys is a great name.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Welsh here I'd go Cerys... especially with Violet x

I love both, but I have a Cerys, so I'm slightly biased in favour of that. I'm sorry for your loss and I think its a beautiful tribute to your DP x Violet Cerys is very pretty!

I prefer Carys.

Violet Cerys is lovely

OP, sorry, I didn't read the post properly.
Violet Cerys sounds nicer.
So very sorry for your loss.🌺

Tinsel I have absolutely no idea what that means
Cerys for me too OP, lovely name. Very sorry for your loss.

Cerys

Sorry for your loss

We are probably going to call our new dd Cerys. Always pronounced it Ker-ris and it's an adapted version of the original Welsh Carys.

Sorry for your loss as well and what a lovely way to honour your DP's memory ❤

They are both pronounced the same, aren't they?

I'm very sorry for your loss.

no they aren't pencil.....the first syllable is Keh like Kestral in Cerys, and is Kah like Karen in Carys.

Another Welsh poster here saying go with Cerys.

And I love Violet too.

And I'm very sorry for your loss OP.

Violet Cerys

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm not Welsh, but Violet Cerys is really lovely. imo.

Carys is lovely.

Sorry for your loss. Violet Cerys is beautiful. My niece is half Welsh and called Violet - it sounds lovely in the Welsh accent.

Sorry for your loss

I prefer Carys individually but Cerys goes better with violet imo (and my preference my just be that i know an unpleasant Cerys!)

As a first name, I prefer Carys but Violet Cerys flows really well so I'd pick Cerys in this instance.

Very sorry for your loss

I love Cerys (DS2 was going to be Cerys if he'd been a girl)

Not so keen on Carys, but only because I know a not v nice one!
