I like Meri but it does make me want to sing Sosban Fach 'mae bys Meri-Ann wedi brifo...'. Merryn is lovely.

From your list I really like Hester and Erin.

Rosa is on my non-Welsh girls list and I also like Juliet, Lyra, Naomi, Cassia, Louisa, Verity and Sabrina.

Eseld, Elowen, Morwenna and Lowenna are some lovely Cornish names, given your heritage.

@ILoveStickers I’m not sure where I got Latin from! It’s Finnish for ‘sea’.

@CaffiSaliMali Eseld is so lovely but sadly doesn’t flow well into our surname.

Esti - OK on its own but it is a lovely nickname
Oula - presume this is Oola rather than Owla. Quite like this. People may be confused on pronunciation.
Hester - also like
Erin - absolutely loathe
Dasha - nice but this is a nickname and I think the Santa joke point definitely an issue
Meri - this will basically sound identical to Mary in English
