Hazel - ok
Lowri - lovely pronounced properly (not Lowry)
Lois - prefer the welsh pronunciation, but either is OK
Sabrina - ok
Arwen - only if a fan of Tolkien, frumpy if pronounced as if a Welsh name
Ariadne - too long
Rowan - nice but too popular as a boy's name
Rowenna - will be mixed up with Rowena
Merryn - don't like it
Jasmine - lovely
Fern - ok

OopsieeDaisy · 05/07/2023 14:08

Jasmine is lovely and I quite like Fern too. I’m not too keen on the others.

Fern and Merryn are lovely. Unusual without being unheard of. Arwen is too Lotr for me and I like lotr. Could have Anwen instead?

I can see you've got some Welsh/Cornish names in there. How about Morwenna?

maddiemookins16mum · 06/07/2023 09:51

Ruthie (Ruth).

wendyjoy · 06/07/2023 11:33

My Grandson is called Rowan ( don't think it would suit a girl).

Namesnamesnames145 · 06/07/2023 12:32

Hazel - too 60-70 year old lady.
Lowri - no
Lois - family guy
Sabrina- teenage witch
Arwen - I always thought this was a boys name, probably totally wrong about that lol
Ariadne - it’s cute, I like
Rowan - if it’s said row as in argument rather than row row row your boat, I like.
Rowenna - Rowena is much better
Merryn- I like this
Jasmine - too Disney princess
Fern - I love this.

what about
morven
morgan
rohanne

sugarapplelane · 06/07/2023 13:30

I love Arwen. If you are a LOTR fan then you could use Eowyn also.
pronounced Aowen
i live Ariadne too as a fan of Greek names. Alternatives are Persephone, Penelope, Hermione, Artemis, Hermia

Couldntthinkofausername24 · 06/07/2023 13:36
