Seren, Violet or Opal?

Which do you prefer?

It is not a classic welsh name. It is popular in wales now but it will date badly because the non-welsh way of saying it isn't very nice.

It's awful as a name. There are many pretty names with the same meaning, or that are similar. Serena is lovely. Or Stella.

Violet.

But to be honest, I don't really like any of them.

Seren by far

Violet

Violet is my favourite of the three.

Seren is OK if you pronounce it the Welsh way.

I'm not fond of Opal as a name. It's a beautiful gemstone but superstition has it that it's unlucky unless you are born in October, the month for which it's the birthstone.

I like Opal, actually!

Opal

Seren. I am biased. it's my 9yo DD's name.
However, Violet is top of the fantasy name list should we ever have child number 2

Seren

This. At least it sounds nice in Welsh.

Personally I find the 'it means ..... in .....' odd, Star for example isn't a name I'd like to be called in any language.

Ds19 would have been Seren if he was a girl, we only knew one. Now we know so many, it’s like the old Sarah, Rachel, Emma etc where you had 2/3 in every class.

Opal, the other 2 are really popular at the moment but I only know 1 Opal and she is just adorable!

I just looked up on google translate how to say Seren in welsh and I prefer it in English. It sounded like Seven said by someone who talks very slowly.

Thanks notso. It's good to know it's not just me.

Violet or Seren.

Pearl is way nicer than opal.

Opal

Seren

Opal

Seren - only if you’re Welsh
Violet - pretty, but I think it’s peaked and is losing popularity
Opal - I like opals, but not as a name. I don’t think it sounds particularly nice or looks nice written down
