Welsh girls name

[PlainJane1000]

DH is Welsh and we are looking for a Welsh girls name. Current shortlist is
Nia (nee-a)
Ffion (fee-on)
Lowri
Seren
Thoughts on these and other suggestions welcome!

Are you in Wales ? As that makes a difference re how they will be pronounced.

Nia is gorgeous - has a lovely history but thanks to the popularity of similar Mia and Nina, it's easy/obvious to pronounce for non- Welsh speakers and those not familiar with the name imo.

Seren is also lovely but slightly trendy. I'm a bit "blah" on Ffion and Lowri.

Other suggestions: I love Eirian, Eirlys and Eira too (and well as related Aneira, Gwyneira, and Eirwen) but they may have "Ay" vs "Eye" confusion. But Gwen, Tesni, Rhiannon, Alys, Anwen and Morwenna are also lovely and seem fairly straightforward?

Love Alys, Anwen and Ariana.

Olwen
Behan

Ffion is my absolute favourite. I know one and she has to correct people calling her Fiona occasionally or FFion.

Seren is a bit trendy atm as PP said. Are you in/near Wales?

I know 3 lovely sisters called Nia, Lowri and Rhian and they are all beautiful and the loveliest girls so I just love all 3 of these names!

Alys

I really dislike Lowri, I don’t like the sound of it somehow.

Love Seren

Also like Rhian, Bethan

If you don't live in Wales I'd go for Nia. It's just Mia with a N sound at the start so people should get it/be able to pronounce it.

Seren is a bit of a trendy in name and overused recently.

Seren has been done to death since the 90s unfortunately.
Nia is less popular and still nice.

I like
Llinos
Aneira
Mair

Try watching a few of the brilliant Welsh dramas like Hidden, Hinterland and Keeping Faith... lots of ideas on there.

Lots of lovely suggestions already, I also love Angharad.

Carys

Ffion is lovely.
I also like Elen and Catrin

Teleri

Sian
Cerys
Carys
Nerys
Rhian
Rhiannon
Bethan
Myfanwy
Angharad

I love Alys. Ps I taught a boy called Ffion - his dad was Irish.....

Cerys
Megan

Teleri

Unfortunately some will rhyme this with celery 🤦🏻‍♀️

Another vote for Alys

Aylwen and Anwen are my favourites. I had a hard time deciding between the two!

Betsan

@LizzieBet14

I love Alys. Ps I taught a boy called Ffion - his dad was Irish.....

Are you sure it wasn't Fionn? That's an Irish boys name, pronounced differently to Ffion.

Lots of lovely Welsh names to choose from - I’d avoid Seren as it’s extremely popular if you’re living here. I’d also avoid Lowri as you’d get people saying Low-ree or Law-red.

Some others to consider

Mali
Cari
Anwen
Eleri
Elin
Enfys (which means rainbow)
Haf (which I love!)
Gwenno
Manon
Non
Tirion - although the one I know is sick of having to explain that it’s not a boys name (thanks to GoT)

*Law-ree

I love Morwenna. I had a boy though, so that was that 😀
