Cerys (means love) and Seren (means star) were on our list. DD ended up with Seren as a middle name, still would have liked it as a first name though, but was vetoed!

Bronwen, Rhiannon, Keridwen, Gwendolyn, Imogen... First two are my DDs middle names (DH welsh). Agree that it will always be pronounced wrong unless you live in Wales.

Thanks

Imogen is not a Welsh name. It's from a Shakespeare play.

Don't think Fleur is Welsh either.

Thanks

Fleur isn't Welsh, but Fflur (pronounced 'fleer') is - it means 'flowers'.
