Names like Elowen

[BunnyWilliams]

Our daughter's middle name (third child, other two are boys) is Elowen. I think it's the most beautiful name and have regretted not using it as her first name. I didn't want her to have the nickname Ellie but now I wish we'd have gone for it.

We are now very happy to be expecting baby number 4. I have a strong feeling it is also a girl. Can you help me to think of some names with a similar vibe? I love the soft and natural feel of the name Elowen.

Names we are considering:
Lowenna (also Cornish like Elowen)
Cecilia (I also love Cecily but DH isn't keen)
Delilah
Beatrice (although we mentioned this to my son and he immediately said, "That's a boy's name, it sounds like beer!" which has put me off!)

I know a lovely little Elowen.
Liliana
Serafina
Aurelia
Alicia
Elissia
Alyssia

Bronwen

@namechange272727There's something about Bronwen that's interesting to me but I'm just not sure if it's too harsh sounding? I think it's the 'Br' start.

@seven201It's so pretty isn't it. I like Alyssia etc but just too common for me. There's already one in my son's class at school.

If not Bronwen, how about Anwen?

Those were my first thoughts!

But seriously, I think Rowan for a girl is beautiful. Or Lamorna?

Yes I know what you mean - I think it sounds strong but it’s definitely less soft than Elowen.

What about Iona?

Ceridwen, with Ceri for short.

Merryn

Arwen
Carwen (good if you're a Petrol head)
Merryn
Derryn

I absolutely love Rowan for a girl.

Looked after a little girl called Arwen once, that’s a gorgeous name!

If you love the name use it for new baby’s first name. No one uses their middle name and it would be a nice little connection between the two sisters.

Seren
Merryn
Lowena
Mowenna
Wren
Elodie

I agree with this. Use it!

I like Lowenna and Cecily- I like Elowen too, but she would likely end up Ellie, so I think you made the right call

I have twin Welsh nieces- Lowri goes with elowen well. I also like Nancy, Mable/Mabli and Seren.

I love Elowen and Lowenna. Lowenna means ‘a happy child’ which is beautiful too.
Savannah is a similar sound but different vibe.

Rowan is also beautiful for a girl.
I really like Sasha too.
