A Welsh middle name for Alice

[LolaBumble]

Another thread from me! Please help me decide on a Welsh middle name

@LolaBumble , not Welsh but how about Alice Penelope?

Erwain was quite common up here (NW Wales) in the 60s, 70s and 80s. We had a couple in school.

None of the Eirian’s (and there were 4 in my year) seem to have had any problems, including the two who now live in Laaaandan - apparently it ended up as Ay - reen once or twice but ok after that 😉

As for Ceri being mispronounced, even my relatively easy first name has been mangled so many times (mine is one of the ones being mentioned as a favourite) that I just shrug now.

I just tell people. I figure if they can manage Siobhan, Niamh or Saorse then they can damn well learn to pronounce Welsh names too.

But Alice Non Bumble doesn’t work. I’d not noticed the last name.

@MedievalNun Thanks. I searched for it and only got glamping site with an annoying contact form. It might be a local name.

OP probably isn't called Bumble but I used it as a surname. I know a few Nons and wouldn't think anything if I saw Alys Non Davies, but would if I saw Alice Non Davidson.

I've worked with 2 women called Ceri - one from SW and one from NW, and they both said the same. They said Serry, Cherry, Surrey, Surree, Cherie. Weird.

... if they can manage Siobhan, Niamh or Saorse.. but they don't quite get those right and it's Saoirse.

I've found it! Erwain is meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria).

@MedievalNun , it also means sweat according to the dictionary!

Alice Myfi is nice have you considered that?

Gwenllian (pronounced with soft Gw and ll as in Gwenthian). It would go very well with Alice.

pronounced with soft Gw and ll as in Gwenthian Absolutely not!

Alys Efa
Alys Elin
Alys Ffion
Alys Nia

I think two lots of syllables in sequential names flows better.

No TH in it.

I like Alice Sian, Alice Nia or Alice Megan

Alice Betsan

Alice Tesni

Alice Nia

Alice Beca

Alice Begw

Alice Mari

Alice Fflur

Alice Lois

Seren

That's how it was taught to me, its a name in my family.

Only if you’re saying it wrong.

Alice Nia all the way! Welsh but not unpronounceable.

You’ve been taught it wrong

ll does not make a th sound

Alice Eirlys

Alys Haf

I was coming to suggest this. I have a Mabli and I love that name so much but I don’t think it flows very well with Alice. I love Cariad and it means love 🥰 also Eira goes nicely I think!

Alice Angharad would be so adorable (and strong!) Alice is quite a flimsy / soppy name and then Angharad would give it some substance and strength. Together it’s nice.

I just love the name Ffion, always have!
Alice Betsan a poster above suggested I think works really well.
Sorry that wasn't on your list, I just love the name Ffion.

My godmother was called Aeronwy.

I've never met another one.

Alys Caron
Alys Caitrin
Alys Eira

@pinkgown It's a name Dylan Thomas created for his daughter. It's Aeron (river name) +wy.

@pambeesleyhalpert , Cariad has several meanings not just love (see pp).

Yikes!
