Seren

[diddleysquat1982]

Evening all,

What do you think of the name Seren for a girl? I know it's Welsh meaning Star. It has a lovely meaning for a wished/longed for child.
Would you say it travels well across UK and across say Europe (Spain, Greece etc)? Any one had any issues with people mispronouncing/not knowing name?

Thank you 🙂

Love love love Seren! One of my favourites ☺️

Ironically I’ve only ever heard it mispronounced in Cardiff when someone said “Serene”.

My DDs middle name, would have been her first name but our last name ends in S and felt like too many s sounds!

Beautiful name.

I really like it. I’m Welsh and considered Seren as a middle name for my baby, but he turned out to be a little boy. I still might use it in the future though. Lovely name.

It's beautiful.

I'd never heard of it until recently - it's the name of one of the twins in The Archers. I suspect it will be more widely known because of that. I love it- it's a beautiful name.

It's a lovely name - I only ever taught one Seren and she was a really lovely child.

It's a popular name at our school (in wales). At least two in each year group. Nice name.

It was on our shortlist, great name.

Were you just watching the One Show?

Not keen on it. It seems a bit modern and it's popular, but I can't see the appeal.
Would you name a child Star?
There's also the Seren vs Serrun pronunciation issue.

If you like it use it but I wouldn't.

Lovely name. My DD had a friend in her primary school class called Seren (this was around 16 years ago, so I don't think it's a modern fad type of name).

If you love it, choose it!

I love the name Seren. I don't know about it travelling well but it is becoming more common outside of Wales.

I've only ever met one little girl called Seren and I thought it was a lovely name.

It is an utterly timeless name. It is so very beautiful and I wish I had chosen it for mine.

I wouldn't say it was timeless. It fits in with the trend for names like Luna, Nova, Skye, Summer, Erin etc.

Serren is just wrong, sorry.

Lovely but prefer it spelt serren

I like it

Also like Stella

They’re both getting more popular

It’s a very old welsh name.

It’s a beautiful name when pronounced the Welsh ways. I don’t like it when people pronounce Seh-run.

My daughter’s middle name, I know of quite a few now under 13, I think most will have heard of it. It’s easy to pronounce.

It’s a very old welsh name.
Yeah, right.

It’s a very popular name in Wales so I wouldn’t choose it living in Wales because of that. I do like the name if pronounced in the welsh way

I’m a big fan 😀

This was our name choice for a girl.... We had 3 boys!! 🤣

Absolutely love it
