Expecting baby 2, ds1 is called Finnick. So we'd like something to follow along the celtic theme if possible but not ruling out other names not celtic. Want something that's not already really common. Bits and girls names please!

Ah right. Finnick is also an English surname, so two for the price of one then Grin

Singingatmidnight · 17/02/2020 16:53

Finnick like the Hunger Games?

Any particular kind of "Celtic"? I heard of a baby Maiwen the other day, which is apparently Breton, I thought that was lovely.

Beebumble2 · 17/02/2020 18:32

Clodagh is beautiful and not often heard.

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2020 18:36

Gwyn not Gwynn. I like Gwyn a lot but Wyn might travel better.
You could use Winston nn Win although a completely different name.

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2020 18:38

Taliesin nn Tal?

mamablondie · 17/02/2020 18:59

Ciaran
Eoin/Owen
Cormac
Ronan

Saoirse
Aoife (Eefa)
Niamh
Brigid
Siobhan

It really depends how bothered you are about spelling etc. Lots of gorgeous Celtic names out there!

TatianaLarina · 17/02/2020 20:16

Gwynn is the old spelling of Gwynn Ap Nudd. As in Gwynn Parry Jones.
