Baby girl 3 - welsh name needed!!!!

[prizeelliott]

Hello, this is the first time doing this... how strangely liberating!!
I am expecting our third daughter and need a name to match our 2 other daughters. As welsh speakers living in Wales we want to stick with the welsh theme we started! Any suggestions? How do some of these sound to non welsh ears? Don't want anything too out there in case she ends up living in London!!

Betsan.... Beti for short!
Mena,
Cerys,
Carys,
Marged,
Sian
Eleri
Elin,
Luned
Sali

Not doing very well am I?!

Other daughters are Tesni Angharad and Nia Haf.
Just feel have dragged through all the names twice already!!!!
Is it just me that finds this hard?

DS2 would have been Seren if he'd been a girl - I love the fact it means "star". Love Llinos as well, though possibly not very English-friendly!

Seren. It's a beautiful name. I know a Seren and she's a little smasher.

Love Elin and Carys. I also love Seren, Mali and Essylt (nn Essie, really sweet).

Love your existing DDs names, congrats on number 3!

Love Ffion. Carys is isn't unusual up here in Scotland so if you wanted something a bit more 'welsh', wouldn't go for that. Love Anwen too.....!

My favourite Welsh names for girls are Dilys and Hawys. Do you like those?
From your list I like Eleri and Elin.

Arwen?

I used to work with a girl called Ceridwen (Ceri for short), it always stuck with me but didn;t use it for either of my dd's as we have no welsh connections and felt wrong.

Cerys is lovely too.

I know a Seren and she's a right little nightmare star. She's mine though, so I can say that Anyway, we're in England and no one's stuggled with the name (although children tend to think she's called Sarah if she tell them her name, but she's only 3)

I like Eleri best from your list
My friend is Welsh speaking and has a Lowri, which I love!

Could you use Angharad again? I love this name. I like Rhiannon too.

From your list, I like
Carys,
Marged,
Sian
Eleri
Elin

Dilys?

We were consiering this for a girl, but had a boy.

All lovely names, but I particularly like

Eleri
Cerys
Sian

I'm with Mejon - Mali is a lovely name (isn't it Welsh for Molly?).

(waves back at mejon )

I like Dilys too, quite old womany but due for a comeback I think.

Out of your list I like Carys (my niece's name-she's English), Elin and Luned.

My favourite Welsh name is Seren.

There is a Manon in DS's class but she is French. Didn't know until she started school that it was a French name as well as a Welsh one.

Cariad? Have heard that used too

I know a Gwenllian, I think that's pretty.

I love Eleri and Elin. I would have thought either would be fine in London (as would Betsan)

Sali makes me think too much of Sali Mali

Of others mentioned, Catrin is very very popular at least round here - though it is a great name.

Eleri is very pretty.

I also love Seren.

I have a Cerys! And we're not Welsh or living in Wales, but we just liked the name.

It usually gets a lot of compliments, and we chose it mainly because our DD1 has a very popular name and we wanted something a little more unusual. Cerys/Carys are both getting more popular now though.

I love the names you have already used

Other names I likw are

Mabley
Delyth
Iona
Ionwy
Enfys
Eleri
Elin
Gwen

My DS would have been Seren too, although it's become mega popular all of a sudden. I love Rhian/Rhiannon, Elin, Eleri, Catrin (Cadi for short?), Carys, Cerys, Sian, Anwen. I really like Gwenllian but it would be a pronounciation nightmare.

Seren is lovely - 'star' in Welsh

I love Deryn. (there's a really ood author of historical crime fiction called Deryn Lake)
I really Arian too.
Congrats on DD3 x
