Ceri, Bethan, Sian, Megan.

I like all the ones on your list esp Cerys.

I have a Welsh neice called Ceri or Ceri-Jane when she's in trouble!!

mazzystar · 29/03/2008 15:44

I love Carys, but there isn't any suggestion of Welsh in our family so couldn't really use it

Angharad?

Scottishy ones
Kirsty
Bridie

cornsilk · 29/03/2008 15:45

Out of youe list I like Cerys.

dizzydixies · 29/03/2008 16:15

I love carys
what about arwyn - meaning muse I think thats really pretty, dd1 was almost that and it was a close call - still in consideration for this one if a girl

dilys is pretty too (double check the spelling though)

congratulations on number 5! can we have a clue to the other dc names so we know you're style and if it 'goes'?

Iona
Islay
Erin
Eilidh
Ellis
Elish
Ishbel
Heather
Kirsty
Cara
Cora
Niamh
Maev e
Aoife

my dd2 is Lexie - scottish for sparkling!

My all-time favourite Irish name is Saoirse.

But I like all the names on your shortlist.

fruitymum · 29/03/2008 16:20

Marie
Mhairi(pronounced Varee)
Eididh(pronounced Aalee)
Isabella
Isla

Great suggestions so far...will probably end up with a longer list after this!!

Ok we are Welsh but I love any celtic names - So far I have a Dion, Ben, Erin & Rory. What would flow the best with that little lot??

Anyone know who I am yet??!

Like Cari and Mari best from your list. Slightly prefer Carys to Cerys.

Arwyn is a boy's name - Arwen is the female version (though don't sound too different when spoken admittedly). Awen also v similar.

dizzydixies · 29/03/2008 16:30

will scrap Erin off the list then! lol
at least am on the right wave length
LOVING Dion btw - is Dilys too similar?!

how about
Clea?
Rhian - oh I love Rhian and Rhiannon

are you Charlotte Church and Gavin with 4 other kids we don't know about!?!?

Dion, Ben, Erin, Rory and Clea - like it
Dion, Ben, Erin, Rory and Sian - also nice
Dion, Ben, Erin, Rory and Carys - this too

time for the tesco/pilot/author test me thinks

stleger · 29/03/2008 16:30

aisling?

dizzydixies · 29/03/2008 16:32

Dion, Ben, Erin, Rory and Cora
Dion, Ben, Erin, Rory and Niamh

right my favs - clea, Sian, Carys, Cora and Niamh

sorry - am being sod all use

Tegan welsh meaning beautiful

Pinkchampagne · 29/03/2008 18:45

Carys is my favourite from your list. It was the name we would have used for DS1 if he had been a girl.

popsycal · 29/03/2008 18:49

Seren?

love that name

ivykaty44 · 29/03/2008 18:50

zebedee1 · 29/03/2008 18:56

I have an Evan who would have been Seren if he'd been a girl!
