WDYT of Kerris? Anglicised version of Cerys.

Cerys is so much nicer. Don’t see the need to butcher an easy to pronounce name in the first place.

Sophronia · 04/05/2019 23:22

Cerys is much nicer and I don’t think it would be hard to pronounce.

Daffodil2018 · 04/05/2019 23:22

It sounds chavvy to me tbh. I much prefer Cerys.

MarthasGinYard · 04/05/2019 23:22

Cerys

Other spelling just wrong

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 04/05/2019 23:22

Kerr is looks like you can’t spell Cerys.

Cerys is a lovely name. As is Carys.

Love the name but definitely spelt it Cerys.

DramaAlpaca · 04/05/2019 23:24

Cerys is much nicer.

Cerys is a common enough name that people will be able to pronounce it.

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/05/2019 00:59

Cerys sounds so lovely with a Welsh accent. It does not sound nice with my accent. And with the Anglicised spelling it's worse.

Agree with the PP who said it looks like a chav name. Stick to the original.

Isadora2007 · 05/05/2019 01:00

It looks a bit like Kevin too- what’s wrong with Cerys?

OwlBeThere · 05/05/2019 01:02

To be fair Kerris/Kerys is the Cornish version (similarly Ceri and Kerry are different versions depending on geography).
As a welsh person I prefer Cerys but it’s equally valid with a K.

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/05/2019 01:09

As an aside, I bloody love Cerys Matthews.

Laodamia · 05/05/2019 02:48

Cerys just looks more appealing than Kerris

TheInvisibleMrsCrane · 05/05/2019 05:59

Spell it properly.

Divgirl2 · 05/05/2019 07:40

Another vote for Cerys - one of my favourite names. Kerris looks awful.

RuthW · 05/05/2019 08:57

Cerys lovely. Kerris awful.

CloserIAm2Fine · 05/05/2019 18:12

Awful, Cerys is lovely and it’s not hard to spell or pronounce so doesn’t need “anglicising”!

BackforGood · 05/05/2019 18:29

Another who would look at it and "judge" Wink

Why not just use Cerys ? Lovely name

DumbledoresApprentice · 05/05/2019 18:31

Cerys is so much nicer and easy enough to pronounce.

Pegaroo · 06/05/2019 07:21

Cerys is lovely Kerris is not a great spelling

BendydickCuminsnatch · 06/05/2019 07:29

Cerys but prefer Carys or Charis!
