Hello, I really like the girls name Carys due to how pretty and gentle it sounds. Just wondered if anyone knew of any similar names that have the same sort of feel. Thanks!

Cary’s means “to love”. Are you looking for Welsh names? I have a Cerys. My niece is called Cariad. They all mean “love”.

I know a Bethan. You can't but help say it gently.

KirstenBlest · 26/08/2022 21:17

Carys to me sounds frumpy and terribly middle-aged, as does Bethan.
Cariad is awful, sorry, and it sounds dreadful when said as Carry-add.
Kerry - mean girl name

How is Carys pronounced? Carries, Car-isse?

What about Carrie?

bintiepie · 26/08/2022 22:46

The sister name to Carys is Nerys

Karis is also the greek spelling meaning graceful, you could look into other similar names

I have a Cerys and prefer how it sounds to Carys.

Plus Cerys Matthews is pretty awesome.
