A sister for Eleri?

We are expecting dd2, and dd1 is called Eleri (it's a Welsh name).

Does anyone have any suggestions of what might go? I had a boys name picked out but I can't find a girls name I like, and we now know it's a girl so need to get my thinking cap on!

I think ideally we would like another Welsh name.

Forgot to put Llinos too, it's a lovely name. I also like Lleucu, but it's probably practically unpronounceable for people outside Wales!

Imhookedoncrochet · 11/03/2018 16:39

I used to love Anwen but someone ruined it for me saying it sounded like "and when".

I quite like Lowri, Alys and Mari.

Yes Cerys is my favourite Welsh girl name.

Angharad is pretty darn terrific though.

Ceiredwen?

Gwendoline

Also love Cerys and Seren. Seren sounds particularly lovely in a welsh accent. So does Bethan- that and Callwen are also daughters of a welsh king, like Eleri. (Name meanings are very important for me!)
