welsh baby girl names

[softmusk]

hi i am looking for a welsh girls name that wont make the baby sound if she 90

help please

[Pixiefish]

What sort of name do you want and also do you live inwales- just thinking with the pronunciations etc

[CarGirl]

Myfanwy - "my fine one"

[moondog]

Teleri Elliw Lleucu Swyn Meleri Mali Mair Enfys Gwawr Llio Delyth Mai Siwan Haf.

I've got a Seren.

[moondog]

(Pixie, how are things with your baby and the feeding?)

[mejon]

Gwenno is lovely (but then I would say that!). Had we not called DD that, I wanted to call her Mabli which is the Welsh version of Mabel.

As a few have mentioned, it would largely depend on whether you are in Wales or not with regards problems with pronounciations. DH's side of the family are based in the North-West so we tried to choose something difficult to mis-pronounce.

Some of our other options: Elan, Elain, Fflur, Mali.

[moondog]

Nearly used that one.

[silkcushion]

I know a lovely Eleri!

Hello Llaregub

[branflake81]

Megan.

The best name in the world - cos it's mine!

[Blandmum]

My great-great grandmother was Gwenllian.

Given that we have an odd surname, she was the only person in the UK with her name until she called her dd Gewnllian. She had 11 children who crop up on the census records. Family story is that she had 20+ kids as she and her three sisters had 63 kids between them!

[MrsJohnCusack]

oooh LOVELY names on here

[softmusk]

just wanted to say thanks for all ur idea will show dh

[silkcushion]

I agree Bran - I just called my little dd Megan. But am liking Bronwen now too. Have to have another baby!

[3andnomore]

Ceriadh (sp?)
Rhian
Rhiannon
Cerys

[llareggub]

Hello silk, go on, have another, I dare you!

I was very nearly called Angharad, but my parents decided that I'd be nicknamed Angie so went with something else instead.

[needmorecoffee]

you will spend your entire life spelling it out!
My dd is called 'Celyn' pronounced 'Keh-lin' but every blasted doctor/nurse/teacher calls out 'Celine' as in Celine bloody Dion.
muttermoan etc

[Islamum]

i wanted Tegan for our dd, but dh hated every welsh name I came up with!

[silkcushion]

I think you would have suited Angharad - it's a nice name - not so keen on Angie though.

I also like Eleri but worry it would be pronounced like celery here in England. Welsh names really need to be said with a welsh accent don't they?

[Peachy]

Common names here atm seem to be Megan, Rhian, Ffion, Seren, Sian (my sisters name and I do love it), Rhiannon, bethan.

[Donk]

I love Heulwyn - had a lovely girl in one of my classes with this name (when I lived in Wales)
