Need boy and girl Cornish names - suggestions and opinions please!

[JRocks]

Expecting dc2 in September, already have DS with cornish name beginning with J. We want to continue with the Cornish thing if possible but haven't been struck by anything as yet. Any thoughts?

I have a book of them somewhere will try to find. Was thinking of Morwenna for dd

there is celtic baby name book which lists all celtic names as scottish, irish, welsh and cornish. Worth a look.

No....thats not it. I keep wanting to say Tall Trees but that was Newquay.

QUASARS!!!!!!
Not a name for your child of course.....

I know of two Cornish children named Fior (boy) and Ylyn (sp?) (girl).

Ooh, and my lovely midwife is called Thurza, which I love.

This book has lots of great suggestions, if you are in Cornwall you will probably be able to get it in a local bookshop.

Tall trees still is Newquay, and the last time I went there it hadn't changed a bit. Was about 4 years ago though

Kasha - I have that book! There are a few in there that are quite nice, and some really really bizarre ones too

I quite like Steren - meaning star

Petroc for a boy (can you tell I've been reading Notes from an Exhibition?)

I can second a vile Demelza.

Lamorna, Morvah, Loveday, Tegan

Senara is lovely, i know one and she is nice

Trevelyan

Trelawn

I had a friend Called Thirza who was very proud of her cornish name, unfortunately she passed away last yr

Looking at the list I like Talwyn

i know a Talwyn, oh and a Tean

Tristan. Cornish for 'Thomas'.
Is Tamar a Cornish name, too? (for a girl).

Also from the list I like Merryn, Mawgan, Kerensa & Kenan

i love mawgan for a boy or Lowenna for a girl.

how about 'manor' not cornish zactly but i'm sure many babes have een conceived in/outside the club of that name.

I knew a Meredith once - a boy at my school. Although I'm sure it can be used for either girl or boy.

oh wow - thanks for all your replies!

Some great suggestions, going to have to think and get a shortlist together.

Tristan definitely out despite being a lovely name as it also belongs to a knobhead ex

Scorps - I wonder if your vile demelza is my vile demelza?! ;) or maybe they all are....

Tristan and Iseult.

Okay Knobhead ex and Iseult!

Know a Perran. not a knobhead

How about Mawgan? That's my name, and I love it although people are always spelling it wrong! It could also work for a girl or a boy and is a place in Cornwall as well as an old Celtic name.

Rowena?

Do you already have a Jago? I think that's lovely.

Is Inigo Cornish? That would work well with Jago...
