I’m English and DH is welsh and we live in England but near to wales. We already have a DS Who has a welsh name but it has a nickname that’s easy for the English! We don’t know the sex of number 2 yet but if it’s a girl can’t decide between meredith or bronwen? What do people think? Thanks

Meredith

Bronwen was on our list if we found out we were having a girl (which we are !) but we decided on another name after having a think but Bronwen is beautiful and can be shortened to Winnie if you wanted a nick name ! Congrats either way ! X

They’re both beautiful and nothing like what I would have ever come up with. I think I prefer Bronwen. Although I’m like 51% Bronwen 49% Meredith.

How about Merryn. I think it's Cornish so it's got a bit of the Celtic connection but combines the two?

I like Bronwen I think it sounds younger also Bronnie is cute for a nickname 😃

Like both, Meredith is my favourite and I prefer Bronwyn spelling.

Also like Bethan, Delyth, Eleri, Elin, Ffion and Rhiannon.

Meredith is a surname.
And shed end up being Merry at school.
It's a no from me.

Tillygetsit · 08/04/2020 23:23

I love both. Sorry. No help at all.

bridgetreilly · 08/04/2020 23:37

Meredith (but I maybe biased because I have one)

No one calls her Merry, not even at school.

Ritascornershop · 09/04/2020 02:28

Bronwen is lovely. I’ve never liked Meredith, even before the small girl from hell bullied my child for years.

Jossina · 09/04/2020 04:23

Meredith definitely. Bronwen just seems blah-ish.
