Are there any names you specifically associate with the south/south west?

[firstwordno]

Baby names for girls and boys.

Arthur, Uther, Guinevere, Igraine, Merlin...
Arthur, Uthyr, Gwenhwyfar, Eigra, Myrddin...

These, especially Loveday. Also Piran, Tristan, Meryn, Merrylees, Jenniifer, Jowan ....

Tintagel etc

Arthurian legends are very strongly associated with Cornwall

I know, but he gives the character that name because she's got Scottish heritage - from Lorne

I didn't say I thought Silas or Keziah were W Country names, just that they sounded W county to me, Smartypants

Tristram does also actually, that's quite nice

Try Pearl (pronounced in a strong West Country accent)

Rosie (Cider with Rosie)

R D Blackmore was English.
Arthurian legends are strongly connected with Welsh mythology.

The question wasn't 'are there any names originally specifically from the South/southwest' it was 'are there any names you specifically associate with the south/south west?'.

Regardless of where the character/author/authors cat is from....Lorna Doone is set in Exmoor. I associate Lorna with the South West.

Keri and Kurtan

Ventongimps
Goon Gumpas

They’d certainly be unique at school.

Morwenna
Louisa
Demelza
Jane
Cassandra
Martin

Martin? Is that really a SW name?

@ExplodingSmittens @user1492757084 there's a place called Combe Martin, so maybe that's why they associate it with the area 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edit: also just remembered one of the scilly isles is St Martins!

He was believed to have lived in the South Wales borders area, Somerset or Cornwall. It depends who you ask.
The French have other ideas.

Merryn

Vicky (Pollard)

Was just asking as I’ve never seen it mentioned before and I have met a Martin once who was from that area

Karenza - also strongly linked to Time Team!
Tamsyn
Jennifer

Scrumpy

Jago (boy)

Kerenza (girl)
