Hello, everyone! So, Judith Cascadia has been on our list for a long time, and we still love it. But, the husband thinks Judith might be a little tame for us. We both have uncommon names and this is one of our more common choices. So, I was looking for some alternatives to Judith. We did have Meredith on the list, but ended up crossing it off since we like Meridel better. Do you have any suggestions for alternatives? And what do you think of Elswyth and Luneth?

[name_m]Ah[/name_m], I love [name_f]Julietta[/name_f] and [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] is on our middle name list. Maybe I should take a look at [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] as a first. Thank you!

Hmmm. Elethwin is very interesting. We love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] too. What is the origin and meaning if you donât mind me asking?

Sorry I have spelt this phonetically and therefore incorrectly. The actual spelling is Eledhwen but it is said E-leth-wyn. It is actually a Tolkien name( [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings) Iâd therefore class it as a literary name? It means Elf-maiden.
[name_f]My[/name_f] sonâs friend actually has this name in his school and she is bright and sweet. She gets called Lethy for short. Sorry if [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings isnât your thing lol. I just thought it was such a pretty, uncommon name.
Im not sure where you are from but it sounds like you could love a lot of the old Anglo [name_u]Saxon[/name_u] or Cornish or Welsh names. [name_f]May[/name_f] be worth a look

Oh, thank you! I do love [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings and Eledhwen and Elethwin are gorgeous! I am multicultural, as is my husband (though we donât âshareâ any of the cultures that make us up). I greatly appreciate the suggestion and will look at some of the old Anglo-Saxon, Cornish and Welsh names. Thank you!

I love so many of these! Weâre trying to narrow down our massive list, but Iâm going to add some of these to it and consult my husband. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

My first thought, but may not be what you had in mind, was Judit. It shares the same, spunky sound as Judith. But just the little change in pronunciation sounds much fresher.
Others with that punchy -th sound
Asenath
Gyneth
Maeleth
I also thought of
Ceinwen
Ceridwen
Eilis
Eirian
Liadan
Nolwenn

I do like [name_f]Judit[/name_f], but it doesnât sound great with our last name. I love Maeleth and [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Liadan[/name_f], thank you!
Oh, itâs not a problem. I love collecting names and if I donât use them for a child, Iâll likely use them for a character, so thanks again!
