Welsh names
| Mon, 02-06-2006 - 11:28am |
Hi everyone,
I noticed that some people had posted a couple of lists of Scottish and Irish names so I thought I'd do one of Welsh names. What do you think of them?
Angharad
Anwen
Arian
Awen (pn A (like at the beginning of Apple) -WEN)
Bethan
Bronwen
Carys (pn KA-RIS)
Catrin
Cerys (pn KE-RIS)
Cerian (pn KERRY-UN)
Ceridwen (pn KE-RID-WEN)
Delyth (DEL-ITH)
Eira (AY-RA)
Elen
Ffion (pn Fion)
Gaynor/Gaenor
Gwen/Gwenda
Gwyneth
Iola (pn YO-LA)
Jennifer
Lowri (pn LOW (rhyming with the animal Cow) -REE)
Meredith
Megan (pn MEG-AN)
Morgan/Morgana
Myfanwi (pn MU-VAN-WEE)
Nia
Nerys (pn NE-RIS)
Olwen
Rhiannon (pn REE-AN-NON)
Rhianwen (pn REE-AN-WEN)
Seren
Sian (pn SHARN)
Sioned (pn SHON-ED)
Tegan (pn TEG-AN or TEE-GAN)
Una
Winifred

Is that a boy or a girl's name? Anwin
It kinda sounds like Arwin, but Anwin is so different....
I like it.

Hi,
I should have said in my original post but all the names are girls names because they are generally easier to pronounce and sound nicer than Welsh boys names! xxx
my sister is Jennifer and my cousin is Rhiannon. I like a lot of those names! My faves are Bethan, Carys, Morgana, and Seren.

That it is. I may have to add it to my list of contenders, lol. Thanks!

we just found out today that we're having a boy and we're thinking about Welsh names also. we had thought of Rhys originally but I think there's too many girls named Reese now and it would be to confusing. DH said today that i could put Gwydion on the list and we're going to get a couple of welsh babyname books and the Mabinogion from the library to find some other ideas.
