Sister for Rhys

[NimbleHedgehog]

Hi everyone.
please can you help me.. we are really struggling for girls names. DS is called Rhys. any suggestions?

Types of names we like are Zara, Orla, Esme.

Thanks for your help!

Clara?

I knew a Rhys with a sister Lowri

I’d go with a Welsh name to go with Rhys, Bronwen or Megan?

Zara and Esme are lovely.

Arwen
Iona
Eira
Lara
Lyra
Kaia
Niamh
Lila
Talia
Thea
Maeve
Iris
Ida
Ines
Seren
Erin
Ida
Cara
Nia

Nesta? Rhiannon?

My DS was originally going to be called Rhys or Gemma if he'd been a girl. Always liked that combo.

(Annoyingly a rude relative put me off using Rhys in the end but that's a whole other thread.)

For some reason my mind went straight to Zadie. Might suit you if you like Zara also?

rhys And

seren
elva
nora
bethan
esme
thea
maeve
alba
juno

Cerys

Lissie.

I was going to suggest Lowri too

Rhona

Seren would be the obvious one for me, as like Rhys it’s obviously Welsh but familiar to English speakers too (plus it’s short and sweet like Esme, Zara, Orla.)

Eira would be the other obvious one for similar reasons, although as it’s a bit more newly popular you might still get the odd “Eye-ra” instead of “Ay-ra”.

Nia is less well used but it’s another short and sweet name that’s familiar both sides of the border. Or Gwen if you’d consider a 1 syllable one.

Bizarrely, I think every single Rhys I've known (quite a few as I'm a teacher) has been an only child!

I love Zara.

I don't think it needs a Welsh name to go with it, unless you are Welsh and specifically want one. Rhys is much more widely used than the majority of specifically Welsh names and probably a lo of people don't even know it is a Welsh name. I see Rhys as going well with:

Anya, Autumn, Aria, April, Amaya, Bronte, Bella, Connie, Chloe, Clara, Daisy, Darcey, Erin, Elodie, Ella, Eva, Freya, Gracie, Holly, Hallie, India/Indie, Imogen, Jasmine, Kitty, Lola, Layla, Lyla, Leah, Matilda, Molly, Millie, Mia, Nova, Olivia, Phoebe, Piper, Poppy, Ruby, Rosie, Sadie, Summer, Scarlett, Sophie, Thea, Willow, Zoe

If you did want a Welsh name then I'd go for another one well known in ENgland like:
Alys, Bethan, Carys, Nia, Seren, Tegan

Nancy.

I.think ot fits very well.with Rhys.

Rhys &
Erin
Ellen
Anna
Lydia.
Faye.
Megan.
Beth
Clare

Rhys and Zara or ..

Llewella
Lowena

Ella

I have a Rhys who has two sisters, one is Cari, and the other is Llinos

I was going to suggest Manon 😂

Mabli
Mali
Nia
Eirlys
Olwena
Anwen
Morwenna
Seren

I think that, naturally, it needs to be another Welsh name.
