We are struggling with names, what we like no one else seems to. We have mixed Cornish/Welsh heritage and would like a nature based name but looking for suggestions as we already have friends with Rose and Iris.

So far we have
Elowen - means Elm tree but no one seems to like it.
Derwa
Rozenwyn
Caja
Willow
Glesni (not strictly nature I know)
Seren
Eirian

Why does it matter if other people don't like the names? Choose something you and her dad like.

I think Elowen is my favourite from your list, I like El/Elle as nn! Seren is the slightly safer option and is lovely too.

Peach1886 · 09/10/2019 18:55

Eira is Welsh for snow which would be lovely for a winter baby

Roselilly36 · 09/10/2019 18:59

Azalea is a lovely name, very under used in the UK.

Witching · 09/10/2019 19:06

Fern

PickledChicory · 09/10/2019 19:08

We have a nature theme with our 2 girls, gone latin. Sylvia (woodland spirit) and Flora.
I think Elowen is gorgeous like willow too.
I liked Rowan and Rosa but was terrible with our last name also starting with R.
Grandparents didnt like our girls name and after our first we just didnt bother telling in advance. Grandparents now agree kids become their names and love the names now. Couldnt give a fig what people other than v close family think.

DS would have been Fern if he had been a DD, I love it.

Peach1886 · 09/10/2019 19:18

Merlin - a bird - or the Welsh spelling Merlyn

Pointof0return · 09/10/2019 19:49

All your names are nice. Another one here for Fern too, I tried to call dd Fern, and ddog, DP refused

RebornFlame · 09/10/2019 19:52

Always loved Rowan for a girl but nice for a boy too

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/10/2019 20:02

Heather. Bryony. Linnet. Robyn.

funnyoldonion · 09/10/2019 20:06

Elowen is so beautiful

VenusClapTrap · 09/10/2019 20:20

Nerine

Rocco87 · 09/10/2019 20:44

I love these names OP and have a DS with a Cornish name too so I’m always looking for beautiful Cornish girls names in case we have a DD!

I love the look of Caja but was out off by the pronunciation- did you know if rhymes with “badger”?

Seren and Elowen are lovely.

Zanzan1 · 09/10/2019 20:55

Caja ha yes I did, must admit it was low on the list.

Fern was quite common when I was at school and I didn't like a girl called that but it is a lovely name. We really like the way Elowen is pronounced in America rather than the Cornish but we darent tell the grand parents that 😀

Your list is pretty awful, I'm not surprised people don't like them. Seren's about the best of the bunch.

MonaChopsis · 09/10/2019 21:07

I have a friend with a daughter Caja, she pronounces it Kai-ya, not to rhyme with badger!! It's a lovely name.

CatToddlerUprising · 09/10/2019 21:12

Rhosyn- Welsh for Rose

123Dancewithme · 09/10/2019 21:12

I like Elowen and Rozenwyn but prefer the Rosenwyn spelling.

How about Rowenna, Senara, Sennen, Zennor, Lerryn, Lamorna or Tesni?

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 09/10/2019 21:29

Fiol
Lina
I much prefer Starr to Seren, but that's because I don't get the love for Seren, which always sounds so harsh to my ear.

How about Lark?

I like Rhosyn and Rosemary.

Makesmilingyourbesthobby · 09/10/2019 22:00

I love Elowyn, Willow and Seren
