Welsh girls names that work in England

[sallysparrow157]

My partner and I are both (North) Welsh but living in England, I’m pregnant with twin girls and so far have been pretty useless in thinking of names...

We’re looking for names that are easy to pronounce by non Welsh speakers and also don’t look like we’ve spelt it wrong just to be ‘interesting’!

I’m not a fan of names like Seren or Enfys.

I don’t really mind names that are seen as a bit dated (but on the other hand lots of names that were common in my generation are names of people I was in school with and didn’t get on with!)

Help!!

Alwyn

Male name.

Sian
Eira
Bronwen
Anwen/Arwen
Emlyn
Bethan
Crystin
Ceri

Gwen

Meredith

Elen

Emlyn is also a male name

Nia

I LOVE Morwenna, I worked with one and she was lovely.

Morwenna is Scottish.

Anni
Nel
Nansi
Sara
Non
Loti

Gwenan
Megan

Arwen - who wouldn't want to be a elf?
Fflur -

Delyth was a gorgeous young girl I knew who was a virtuoso on the harp.

Alys is perfect and only requires saying 'It's Welsh' once.

Emlyn is actually unisex

I would have Alys and Elen.

Oh I’m sorry I thought it was welsh as she was welsh! Never mind

Re Emlyn I've never known a female Emlyn (I'm Welsh living in Wales) but apparently it can be used for a girl. I stand corrected, just never heard it

But did just google Morwenna and it say it’s welsh origin...

Not sure why I like C names right now.
I always wanted to use Angharad.
Lots of Ceinwen's and Seren's in Dd's high school

Myfanwy
Elspeth

Cariad

Catrin would be my first choice, followed by Bethan.

I think Mabli would work beautifully for you. It's a lovely name, the prononciation is obvious and it's not a really overused name like Seren has become...

I don't think Alys will raise any eyebrows spelling wise in England. I've known a few.

And Manon and Mabli is a good pairing for twins, if you want that (posted too soon, dwi'n sorri)
