Welsh names for a girl

[Zanzan1]

Hi I'm looking for a Welsh girls name but would like to hear from people living in England what works and what doesn't. We live in England at the moment and I am wary of my DD having to put up with people struggling.

I really like Essyllt but know this might be a problem. Would like something a bit more unusual.

There are so many beautiful Welsh names with lovely meanings:

Manon - Queen
Eres - Wonderful
Rhedyn - Fern
Enfys - Rainbow
Aderyn - Bird

Glenys, Gladys, Glynis.
Myfanwy
Gwyneth
Olwyn
Rhianon, Rhianne, Rhianna.
Ffion

Anwen
Eleri

My favourite has always been Angharad.

It’s the name of a good character in The Weirdstone of Brisingamen; Angharad Goldenhand. I always thought the name and the character very beautiful!

Sian
Seren
Sioned
Eirwen
Alaw
Mali
Ceri
Cerys
Carys

Cerys
Carys
Elinor
Catrin

My DH is Welsh. If wed had a girl she would have been Cerys.I do like Arwen but I'm bit entirely sure that's Welsh!

Alys

Carwen
Rhianna
Meghan

Myfanwy. Such a beautiful name.

Gwen. Always reminds me of the most adorable little girl in my son's class in pre school

Celyn
Sioned
Gwenllian
Briallau
Eilir
Delyn
Arianwen
Gwendolyn
Gwyneth
Eleri
Betsan
Bronwyn
Eluned

Arianwen

Eleri
Ffiion
Fflur
Non (I love this!!)
Mali
Anwen
Betsan
Cerian

Please don’t call your baby Olwyn - it means wheel! However, Olwen is a lovely name from the Mabinogion.

I’m currently pregnant with ds2. He would’ve been Betsan if he was a girl.
We also liked Rhiannon, Myfanwy, Cadi & Enfys.

Congratulations 💐

Seren - it means Star

I've always love Eirlys (means snowdrop) and Arianwen (means silver I think) ever since I read the snow spider as a child. Beautiful names

I like Eira. I think it may mean 'snow'.

Seen is incredibly popular now. A lovely name though.

Seren

Esyllt is my favourite. Lovely.

Celyn
Mali
Cadi
Carys
Eira

I'm an Angharad and I had huge problems with my name when I went to university in England...made me really hate it for a while (love it again now though!)

There are some beautiful Welsh names but if you don't live in Wales I would definitely go with a shorter one with a not so complicated spelling.

Elin
Seren
Carys
Rhian
Betsan
Beti
Efa
Dilys
Anwen
Haf
Nia

Eira. If DS had been DD, he'd have been an Eira.

Thanks everyone. Also on our list were Glesni and Gwylan.
