Sibling names for Dylan

[TweedleNeedle0101]

Hello, I'm pregnant with a little girl, I already have a DS called Dylan trying to find a name that will go with it. We like Liusaidh (pronounced Lucy) but just wanted some other ideas to decide from.

@KirstenBlest I'm sure it is, but unless she lives in a Gaelic-only community for the entirety of her life, my point still stands!

It would be a lifetime of misspellings and mispronunciations

Oops clear quote fail.

Just to pick up on a pp. Dylan is Dull-ann. You don't get the 'uh' sound in a final syllable of a Welsh word.

You get the 'uh' sound in words, just not in the last syllable.
e.g. Bryniog (hilly) is Bruhn-yog but Bryn is Brin

Sorry to hijack a thread but it is relevant, and if I start a thread it will turn into a bunfight

Having seen a thread today on the pronunciation of a fairly unusual french first name, I have considered the name Eira and it's pronunciation.

I can't find any Welsh word containing the 'air' in a syllable that isn't the last syllable. As a Welsh speaker, it isn't a natural sound unless at the last syllable.

Words containg in 'ai' seem to have the ''ai' changing to 'ei' when used to create a plural. (sort of like how pronounce becomes pronunciation not pronounciation)

I could reel off a list of examples.

If you wonder why I care, it's because I love my language and I love names.

Dydd da ichi ac ymddiheiriadau am ymyrru

Lucy spelled this way looks better with Dylan. The y ties them in somehow.
Amy would go too.

Welsh name I like Olwen, so I suggest that. Scottish name, Skye would not clash with Dylan because it's short and has a Y. It's subconscious but they seem to go.

Joan
Joni
Jimi
Layla
Rory
Nina

Bit of a rock'n'roll theme...

I'm set on using Dylan as a boys name. I have three girls, Beth, Elsie and Freya.

Cerys or Carys
Manon

I reckon a subtle, easily understood Welsh name would suit best (even if you’re not Welsh - don’t shoot me). So Carys/Seren/Sian , as others have suggested. Or just a simple traditional but not too poplar name such as Alice, Meredith (or Morven which is my native Scottish but just lovely with all names).

Isn’t Meredith a boy’s name? And a surname? And is one of those names, like Dylan, that is mispronounced? It’s not a simple traditional girl’s name.

Rhiannon
Carys
Alys
Bethan
Erin
Ffion
Megan
Sara
Caia/Kaia
