Aderyn, [name_f]Kerenza[/name_f] and [name_f]Merryn[/name_f] are my favourites. Particularly [name_f]Kerenza[/name_f], which is funny because I really dislike anything else similar to it.

Voted for [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] & [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] - they have most naturally pretty meaning, [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] especially.

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is lovely, and I used to like it, but [name_u]Elm[/name_u] tree meaning isn’t somehow spetacular, definitely not next to [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f].

[name_f]Demelza[/name_f] has most unique sound, but meaning is even less impressive.

I love Elestren, [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f], Aderyn and [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]!

5

I love [name_f]Endellion[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Merryn[/name_f]!

I like Aderyn too but I thought it was Welsh? Might be wrong though

I live Aderyn, [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] and Rosenwyn. I’m pretty sure both Aderyn and [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] have Welsh meanings, but they could possibly be cornish too.

[name_f]Demelza[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] and [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] are my favourites!

I voted for [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] and [name_f]Endellion[/name_f], but they’re all gorgeous!

Such lovely names! I voted for [name_f]Tamsyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Merryn[/name_f], as I feel they have a lovely light feeling to them, whereas [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f], for example, feels heavyish.

[name_f]Demelza[/name_f] was my second favourite girls’ name for quite a while. I love how strong and fiery she comes across. I’m also a big fan of -enna names, so I adore [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f], as well as Lowenna, which has the added bonus of a great meaning.

I adore Cornish names! [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] you having the connections to pull one off!

My faves in order:

[name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_f]Merryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Demelza[/name_f]
[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about Zennor/[name_f]Senara[/name_f]?

13

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is always the first that comes to mind! But I love Rosenwyn and [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] too.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about Lowenna?

Aderyn is Welsh by the way, it literally translates to ‘bird’.
