Does anyone know very much about [name_m]Breton[/name_m] names? [name_f][/name_f] I’ve been exploring them today after recently discovering a significant portion of my ancestry comes from that region. [name_f][/name_f] I’m fascinated by the combination of [name_m]French[/name_m] and maybe Cornish/Welsh that I’ve noticed so far. [name_f][/name_f] I have a few I’m already considering adding to my list in some way (Maëlle, [name_m]Malo[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], Enora/Elara, [name_f]Awen[/name_f], etc.), but I would love to hear any of your favorites, too, or anything you might want to share about them!
I wouldn’t say that I’m particularly knowledgeable about them, but some of my favourites include [name_f]Nolwenn[/name_f]*, [name_m]Corentin[/name_m] and [name_f]Azenor[/name_f].
*Which is definitely Breton despite Nameberry’s description suggesting otherwise.
Annaïg! [name_f][/name_f] I love this name but it seems so impractical in the states lol. [name_f][/name_f] And yes, I was looking through both the official and user submitted lists, I think I found [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_f]Awen[/name_f] (and Avénie!) on the user submitted list. [name_f][/name_f] I was getting overwhelmed by all the lovely names haha, I thought it would be easier to start by seeing which ones the berries love! [name_f][/name_f] I am most fascinated by [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] right now, my grandmother’s middle name was [name_f]Mae[/name_f] so it feels like a lovely and unexpected way to honor her! [name_f][/name_f] I’ve been wondering about [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Dagny[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] or [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] or [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f], or maybe something with [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] with [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] problem is liking too many options for her lol.
I know, I am in love with her. [name_f][/name_f] I’ve had [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] on my list for years and years but lately have been thinking how though I love her, she just doesn’t seem to have the sparkle she once did, and maybe it was time to look for a replacement for her. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] has that delightfully ancient European cathedral vibes I love for my list [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t know what I’d do for a second middle, but I am really liking [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] with her a lot. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] I think is really lovely, too [name_f][/name_f]- would seriously consider [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] if [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] didn’t rhyme lol. [name_f][/name_f] But also [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I may have to make a [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] thread soon because I am seriously torn between all the options. [name_f][/name_f] I thought [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] would be the early favorite, but I think I like [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] with her a little more.
Yes, she’s lovely but not the most practical in English-speaking areas unfortunately! And I completely understand, I also get overwhelmed looking through the often seemingly endless lists on BtN [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f] is gorgeous [name_f][/name_f]— my favourite of your combos is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Dagny[/name_f] [name_f]Maëlle[/name_f], she’s absolutely stunning
