Spelt that way? Naff.

Cerys however is lovely.

Stressmess · 28/03/2021 13:54

Yes it is a nice name but a silly spelling. Cerys as in Cerys Matthews, however is lovely.

Cerys is nice, Kerris is naff.

NannyR · 28/03/2021 13:59

Yes, this

I don't mind Carys with a K - Karis, Karys, but I definitely prefer Cerys with a C. It's a lovely name.

Lovely name - terrible spelling though.

LeeluTheNarwhal · 28/03/2021 14:42

I know a Kerris, she was named after Polkerris in Cornwall, hence the different spelling to Cerys. I like both.

MadeOfStarStuff · 28/03/2021 15:37

Agree Cerys is nice, Kerris is naff

FelicityPike · 28/03/2021 15:41

Spelled that way....a parent who either can’t be arsed figuring out the “right way” to spell it or trying too hard to be “yoonique”.
Awful.
Cerys however is lovely.

PandaFluff · 28/03/2021 15:48

I prefer Kerry/Kerri

Seashor · 28/03/2021 16:47

I have a Cerys so am totally biased. I’m not a fan of changing spellings of names, I always think ‘naff’ I’m afraid.

Agree.
Blyatiful · 28/03/2021 16:52

Isn’t Kerris the Cornish spelling?

Mumoftwoinprimary · 28/03/2021 16:54

Cerys, Carys, Ceri and Kerry are all nice but I’m not a fan of Kerris. Looks spelt wrong to me.

MemoryIsRAM · 28/03/2021 16:56

Kerris is a fairly strong female character in Night of the Triffids. I like it.

jellybellybanana · 28/03/2021 16:58

Isn’t Kerris the Cornish spelling?

Yes but that won't stop everyone thinking it was just spelled wrong. Its harsh looking as well.

Stevearnottsbeard · 28/03/2021 17:28

Cerys is beautiful, my 2nd daughters middle name. Really don't like kerris at all whether it's cornish or not

Cant find it listed as a cornish name anywhere. The only place i can see it says its a less authentic phonetic spelling of the welsh name Cerys
Undervaluedandsad · 28/03/2021 17:42

Beautiful name but much prefer Cerys. Cerys written in this way looks beautiful to my eye as well as my ear.

KirstenBlest · 28/03/2021 17:49

It's harsh sounding whichever way you spell it.

loveliesbleeding1 · 28/03/2021 17:52

Kerys looks nicer to me.
