Cornish Name of The Day!

I figured it was time to give this heavily neglected region and culture some time in the spotlight by giving them their own Name of The [name_f]Day[/name_f] thread. I’ll start by giving my own preferred Cornish name:

[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], meaning “fair one”. :sparkles:

“Kerensa” and “Elowen” have always been my favorites aside from [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]! Kerensa’s meaning, “love”, is too good to not like! “Elowen” is also simply an adorable and melodious name! I can just imagine it on a sweet, charming little girl!

[name_f]Loveday[/name_f] is an absolute darling and it appears as a minor character in The Locked Tomb Series, some of my favorite books. The names in those books are inspiring and the author has a Cornish name herself (Tamsyn).
