Siriol yes or no

[Frankiefarr]

Siriol Ela
Manon Ela
Tesni Ela

Or something else?

I really like Manon. Not keen on Siriol. Love the meaning of Tesni, just not sure about the actual sound of it. How about Eirlys?

Manon is very popular.
Tesni and Siriol are both ok. Not keen on Ela - prefer Elin.
Siriol is putting some expectation on the DD - what if she is anything but?

Not keen on Eirlys - seems frumpy and grannyish and I wouldn't like to be called Snowdrop.

My friend is Siriol and everyone shortens it to Siri. Might want to take that into account if you feel strongly about abbreviations or nicknames.

Wouldn't Siriol be mispronounced as cereal? I personally don't like any of the names but that's just me.

Sounds like a medicine . Sorry Op.

I was about to say they all sound like types of medicine too.

Is Siriol an actual name. It sounds like the brand name of a medication to me....

Siriol is definitely a name.

It most certainly is a name of Welsh origin

I think it depends on where you are. It'll probably be mispronounced outside of Wales though.

Pretty name. If you can live up to it

No

I like Siriol a lot but it’s definitely got potential to be mispronounced in a way that is minor to an English speaker but absolutely infuriating to a Welsh speaker/person. It feels like it’s one of the ones that can only really shine brightest in it’s native language/country if you get what I mean, which is a shame. But if you’re in Wales... I say do it.

Tesni and Manon have potential to be mispronounced too but I think they are much easier to correct and it’s a 50/50 that the person gets it right on first go in my experience.

All lovely names but personally I’d look at Tesni/Manon if outside of Wales. Best of luck 😊

Siriol is my least favourite name on your list. I once worked in an office and a new mum brought her beautiful newborn into the office. Baby was called Siriol and everyone joked after they left that the baby was called cereal.

How about Teleri, Celyn or Mari?

Tesni Ela for me. Tesni has such a beautiful meaning and she has the option of Tess and Tessa as nicknames if she wants.

Siriol risks being called cereal.

The other four girls names on my list with Tesni were Alys, Eira, Mari and Morwenna.

I would choose Tesni, if you are in England Siriol will be pronounced cereal.

Something else.

I've never encountered it before. It sounds like a brand name, for kitchen appliances or something.

No to Siriol. Manon is nice.

Love Manon

Really don’t like the other two.

Ffion is also lovely

The only thing that makes me hesitant with Tesni is I think it may get said with a more soft a and it reminds me of Disney

Eira we looked at but thought it might get said like I-ra

Sorry predictive text that was meant to say soft ‘s’

Tesni will be said with a soft s like Disney or Lesley.
Manon will be Mannun

Siriol will probably get Siri Ol.

Don't get the love for Manon - I know a few of them so it seems quite ordinary. Mari is nice but Celyn will be Sellin, and it's a bit masculine

No
They are sound like medication names!

Tesni
