A middle name for Eira?

[Needaname2018]

Hi,

We are due dd2 soon, and have chosen the name Eira (it's a Welsh name, pronounced eye-ra). We're struggling to settle on a middle name though. Our thoughts so far are:

Eira Rose
Eira Rosemary
Eira Bethany

Does anyone have thoughts or other suggestions? Thank you

I agree with PP that Bethan goes nicely with Eira, OP.

@heartofgold

Wyn is male, wen is female

So the female would be Gwen

Eira Gwen - really nice

heh i'm not a native speaker so more than happy to be corrected :D is there a specific translation for "snow white"?

ps i'd also pronounce ay-ra (rhymes with may-ra) but i learnt most of my welsh up north.

I would say eye-ra and know of a friends great aunt (Pembrokeshire) and a little girl (South Wales) who pronounce it that way. I actually asked a first language welsh speaker the question about pronunciation and she kind of shrugged and said either is ok.
I quite like Eira May but May seems a bit bland compared to Eira so would probably go for something a little more unusual like Eira Wren or Eira Fern or something very traditional like Eira Elizabeth

Eira Isabel?

Don't know which PP suggested it but Eira Sian is gorgeous.

Coolhotsummer. It's a bit like A/ey/eh, but shorter.
More like the a in Katie.

And the ra bit is like the ra in rat, not ruh.

Wyn is fine as a middle name for a boy or a girl but it is dated.

Snow White is Eira Wen, but Eira Wyn is also ok.
Eira Gwen is fine as they are both girl's names but it implies snow belonging to Gwen.

My daughter is called Eira, pronounced Ay-ra as hubby's family are from north wales (although we live in England). Her middle name is Hope as she was conceived just before we embarked on ivf after a long infertility journey. She is our little miracle and we are always receiving compliments on her name. It's so pretty, she suits it so much. Good choice!

Eira Marie

Eira Grace?

We’re thinking of Eira as a middle name. It’s pronounced Ay-ra in Welsh
