Welsh nature names for girls

[Palmatree]

I'm looking for Welsh nature names for girls, probably to use as a middle name. I know of -

Ffion - Foxglove
Eira - Snow
Eirlys - Snowdrop

Are there any others? Thanks.

I love Eleri. Also Anwen or Arianwen.

Thanks for your suggestions all. I think Eira might be my favourite, just need to persuade DH!

Eira is an excellent choice OP, gorgeous name!

Does anyone have any suggestions for boys nature names - or rather, not even names but appropriate words - in Welsh for a middle name? My daughter already has Eira as a middle name and I love it! Now looking for something more summery.

I should clarify I am a Welsh speaker, but coming up blank on this one!

Yes im in south Wales and I'd proud eira i-ra.
The ei sound has more of an I sound.

But tprouncociatiins to change in different regions.

A lot of these names are so wrong

Might as well call the child Chardonnay it's just as naff

If you don't know what the heritage and meaning is why use it?

Cultural appropriation just comes across as crass and ignorant

Oh and as for this:

Eye-ra is an anglicised or S. Walian way of saying it.

South Wales is in Wales ffs

…Well regardless: I am Welsh, speak fluent Welsh, and lived most of my life in Wales. I would just like some ideas of male Welsh nature words that I could consider as a middle name. Thanks!

South Wales is in Wales but fewer people speak Welsh. If Eira was pronounced Ira it would be Aira.

@DacwMamYnDwad
Still in Wales though
And it's still Welsh wherever it's spoken

A different accent doesn't make it wrong

You would be better off starting a new thread with your question @DaughterOfTheMountains @DaughterOfTheMountains2. People are just going to keep responding to older posts in this thread.

Welsh is phonetic, so yes it is wrong

I’m Welsh speaking in South Wales and I don’t know anyone who pronounces Eira as Eye-ra. I’ll try my best to write it phonetically (I’m not great at it!) but I would say Ay-ra. Ay as in hay, ra with a soft rolled r.

Anyway, it’s a pretty name

Saying Ira for Eira is the equivalent of saying Snow to rhyme with Now.

I'm Welsh, I speak Welsh ergo I do not say Eira incorrectly and neither do the Welsh speaking Welsh people I know who all pronounce it the same as me. It's not possible for us to pronounce it incorrectly for the reasons I have stated.

Therefore it must mean that you and I simply have a difference of understanding on how to illustrate phonetically.

I'm sure we would agree if we could hear eachother say it, even if our accents differ the stress would fall in the same place etc.

We probably say it the same @Feelingofftoday.

The name has become popular in the past few years probably because names like Ava and Ada are popular.

It's difficult to transcribe i because the Ei letter combination doesn't have an equivalent in English. The nearest is Ay, but it doesn't sound as long.

It will be said as Ayruh, which I find ugly.
I do know an Eira who says her name as Ira, but her parents don't speak Welsh.
