My partner and I are due a little girl this spring and we currently can't seem to agree on names. We're in England but I quite like celtic names being from a Welsh family, but my boyfriend isn't a fan of the more extreme welsh names, he's also dyslexic so anything that doesn't sound like it's spelled would be a ruled out, so have struggled to find anything with welsh vibes and might have to settle for a welsh middle name! I love names linked to nature and anything quite short with two syllables but nothing starting with A as with the current leading middle name the initials would spell ASS 🤣 also would like to avoid anything ending in S.
My current list is:
Lily
Rosa
Eva
Zara

Any other ideas I could throw into the mix would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Not all nature-y but when i hear these names I always picture a little girl running round in the countryside for some reason!

Seren.

I think it's Welsh for star and it's phonetically spelt.

I second pp suggestion of Seren and Nia - very Welsh but simple and easy to say and spell in most languages.

Other suggestions (Welsh or Nature themed):
Gwen
Eirwen - both Welsh and Nature (means white/fair as snow)
Menna
Laura/Laurel
Cassia
Bryony
Iris

Megan...Welsh version of Margaret, means "Pearl"/"Daisy."
Not the Welsh version, but sometimes used as a nn for Margaret.

Rhoswen..."White love."
Not so. It's Rhos+wen, Rose+white.

Lyn/Lynn/Lynne...from the Welsh word for "Lake."
Debatable. As a welsh name it's more likely to be a short form of Eluned or Lynda.

Delyth..."Pretty."
Dated.
Popular in 1950s and 1960s.

Ceri..."Love."
Correct.
