Alternatives to Selwen
| Tue, 06-22-2004 - 8:16pm |
Okay, thanks for your answers. I'd love any alternatives to Selwen for a girl, but they have to start with S. Also she's going to have a twin sister named Bronwyn so the names should sound good together.
Also, you can't offend me if you have any other comments, I'm doing this for a male friend who's wife is set on Selwen and he rather have something else. TIA

Sooooo, Bronwen's twin sister...
Sanne -- this is scandanavian, pronounced SAH-na
Selah -- I guess this could be SEE-la, like Sela Ward, the actress, or Se-LAH.
Sigrid -- again, scandanavian, but I think it sounds comprable/in the same vein as Bronwen.
Solange -- french, means "rare jewel." I like this one a lot for Bronwen's twin.
You said an "S" name is a must, but just as a side, Rhonwen, Aylwyn, Arienwen (ah-ree-AHN-wen), Brynn, Eleri, Fiona, Rhiannon, and Tegan are all (I think) appealing names listed as Welsh, in case that is a big issue for your friends.
HTH!

Some alternatives they might like to consider
Selina, Sela, Svetlana, Sapphire, Sedona, Serafina
A possible alternative to Selwen may be Cerridwen, which is a goddess name...but the name is pronounced with the "hard C" sound: Kerr-id-wen. Also, I think that w/ the name Bronwyn, it's just too much "-wen" at the end.
How about Selma or Serisa?
