What do people think? It's Welsh for star. DH is 1/4 Welsh, his grandmother (most beloved and now gone) had a very welsh name which she hated but we'd like to honor her in some way.

One of the best Welsh names in my opinion good choice.

Gwenhwyfar · 03/09/2018 09:18

Very popular name in Wales now, but a couple of generations ago was only mainly used for cows!

villainousbroodmare · 03/09/2018 09:21

I love it and would have used it if there was even the slightest Welsh connection.

It's OK but getting overdone now. I prefer Serena.

Beautiful name!

YolandaTheYeti · 03/09/2018 18:51

I don’t really like it in any accent, (sorry). It’s fine though. Just a bit blah to me.

I’d use this for a boy also.

Glumglowworm · 03/09/2018 19:48

I like it and know quite a few, live in Wales though

MikeUniformMike · 03/09/2018 19:57

It's a cow's name.
It sounds crap in an English accent.
Will be the Shannon/Sharon of it's day.

Shadow1234 · 08/09/2018 23:45

Very nice name.

Pepper123123 · 16/09/2018 09:59

If you're outside of Wales then I'd go for it.
If you're in Wales be prepared for there to be other Seren's in your child's class.

I think it's a lovely name though, but I'm welsh so many biased.

I am a teacher in Wales and in nearly 20 years I have only taught 3 Serens. So it may seem popular but in my experience it isn't. It is a lovely name x

ZebraKid71 · 16/09/2018 21:52

I have several Welsh friends no longer living in Wales with pets named this as a nod to their heritage so it is an animal name for me.

That aside, I do like the sound of it and it looks pretty written down.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 16/09/2018 22:02

I like it.

I have 2 Serens and 2 Serenas in my class this year, but there aren't many other Serens in the school.

Wondering what the GMum's unliked Welsh name is.... Buddug?
