One syllable middle name for Carys

Looking for a one syllable middle name for Carys. Was originally thinking Hope, and we might still go with that, but wavering a bit. I really like Faye but DH doesn't. Surname is 3 syllables starting with D, so O, U, A middle names are out for giving silly initials. Any suggestions?

Mary

Eve?
Rose?
May?
Faith?
Grace?

I like Carys Faith best myself.

I think you could do a 3 syllable too if you wanted, eg
Carys Emily Dennison would work rythmically.

Carys Hope sounds good. I also like Carys Joy

Carys Belle
Carys Rose
Carys Jade
Carys Beth

Carys Lily (technically 2 syllables but it still works)

Carys Jane
Carys Linn
Carys Gwen
Carys Anne
Carys Fern (or Fearne)
Carys Lark
Carys Maude

Mary is two syllables.... I would avoid Elle (would sound a bit like carousel!)

Carys Hope is lovely. I like Faye, too.

I think lots of the J names suggested sound really nice, especially Carys June/Jude/Jane.
They seem to flow well.

Carys Wyn Surname.

Love Carys Blythe also Carys Bryn, Carys Quinn, Carys Bea, Carys Reese

hollygoflightly · 20/09/2020 19:44

I came on to say what @caffisalimali said - if you're Welsh then Carys Haf is gorgeous! And if you're not, Haf means summer and is pronounced a bit like half. But more like haaalf Grin

goteam · 20/09/2020 19:46

Carys Elle sounds like carousel. I think a name starting with a vowel though. Carys Eve is nice. Or Carys Wyn.

SospanFrangipan · 20/09/2020 19:51

Carys Wyn, traditional welsh :)

Ashard20 · 20/09/2020 19:55

Rose

MikeUniformMike · 20/09/2020 19:59

@hollygoflightly, Haf is pronounced like Halve not Half.

Twizbe · 20/09/2020 20:00

Not one syllable but my Cerys has the middle name Elizabeth (our surname is double barrelled so not short either)
