Cerys or Carys?

[Mammina]

which do you prefer, or neither? Not totally in love with either of them but need a welsh name and it is one of very few name that DH likes

Definitely Carys

I prefer Carys

I prefer Cerys

gurgle.co.uk has a facility that you can use to search for welsh names

thanks, will have a look now, need all the help we can get!

I prefer Cerys and is one of my favorite welsh names. I also like Ffion, Sian and Meredith.

Meredith is lovely and can be shortened to Meri/Merry. Merryn is another nice, and unusual, name.

I like Rhian, Arianwen, Telyn and Rhedyn (my taste runs to the unusual...)

The name Arianrhod is really pretty but my poor friend has to spell it to everyone.

Another list of Welsh names here

I can't decide. They are both lovely. Ummm...Carys, by a whisker.

I love Carys but we're Scottish. Would that be weird?

carys definitely - it was in the running for dd...

other welsh names that we have in our family are eirlys (snowdrop), heddwen (white peace) and betrys (no idea - it's welsh form of beatrice....)

Cerys looks prettier.

Cerys would get my vote from your choices.......but what about Delyth, I think that is fab

I'm called Cerys, lots of people call me Carys, keriz, and when they read it pronounce it sereez, seris, cheris, and spell it kerris, cheris etc my sister is called Rhian and everyone assumes it's short for Rhiannon or they call her Ryan! ....I would go for Jane...
Ffion is my favourite welsh name, hubby thinks it sounds like a pretentious Fiona..

Ffion is lovely

Cerys gets my vote of the two. I knew a baby called Carys and her mother used to spit when she said it. Totally subjective opinion, of course, but it does tend to put you off.....
