Oh! this is a hard one! I would probably choose [name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name] because it has a more melodic sound and more nickname possibilities. but [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name] is abosolutely gorgeous as well! you can’t go wrong with these two names
how about [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Roisin[/name] [name]Jones[/name]?
I would love that but [name]Gwyn[/name] needs his Welsh name included!
What about [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Arianwen[/name]?
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Ceridwen[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Gwendolen[/name]
Eirwen [name]Roisin[/name]
Eirlys [name]Niamh[/name]
[name]Caoimhe[/name] [name]Eluned[/name]
[name]Aine[/name] [name]Olwen[/name]
[name]Aoife[/name] [name]Sian[/name]
[name]Caitriona[/name] [name]Sian[/name]
[name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]…definitely!
[name]Hope[/name] I spelled that right.
[name]Hi[/name], [name]Caoimhe[/name]!
[name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name] or [name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]? That’s a tough one! I think that I’ll go with [name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]; [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Jones[/name] is a bit short to me.
Good luck! 
[name]Hi[/name] irisrose,
I do like [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Arianwen[/name] too but I’m not sure quite as much as the 2 above!
I love the name [name]Aoife[/name]! [name]Aoife[/name] [name]Seren[/name] maybe? Although do you think the sound is too close to my name?
Thankyou, [name]Caoimhe[/name]
i like niamh better x
[name]Arianwen[/name] is a bit of a mouthful. [name]Anwen[/name] means “very beautiful” I also like [name]Carys[/name] “love”.
Some of my Irish favorites are [name]Deirdre[/name] and [name]Alannah[/name].
Hello everyone,
I would just like to thankyou all for your lovely helpful comments - I’ve tried posting on other websites and got a lot of negative unkind responses.
Still undecided! [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name] is my choice but [name]Gwyn[/name] likes [name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]. I think I’m starting to cave towards [name]Arianwen[/name] - there are some very cute nn options with it!. However, [name]Roisin[/name] is my middle name (thats why he loves it…) and I’m not sure naming my daughter after me is a good idea? What do you think?
Out of interest do you think the 2 names would work as siblings if we have another girl? Or do you think that if we initially choose a welsh fn and irish mn we should stick with that order for any future children?
Sorry obsessing a little - but want the right name for my little girl!
Thanks again, [name]Caoimhe[/name]
Have you thought of [name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]? That covers the Welsh/Irish factor doesn’t it? I also love this combo.
I love the idea of your daughter carrying your middle name much better than honouring old Aunt [name]Aggie[/name]/[name]Gertrude[/name] etc.
I also love the suggestion of [name]Anwen[/name]! [name]Arianwen[/name] is a little hard to say.
[name]Seren[/name] is a very pretty name. [name]Seren[/name] [name]Mairi[/name] and [name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]?
Best wishes!

Thank rollo… Not sure about [name]Gwyneth[/name]… Fiances name is [name]Gwynedd[/name] so that could get confusing (it’s technically the same name), it’s also fairly common… [name]Do[/name] like it with [name]Roisin[/name] though - I’ll run it past him - the welsh part of the name is his territory! We did consider Gwynach at one point but that was passed fairly quickly by [name]Gwyn[/name]! [name]Seren[/name] is my personal favourite welsh name. We’ve thought about [name]Anwen[/name] but still prefer [name]Arianwen[/name]…
Thankyou, [name]Caoimhe[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Caoimhe[/name]!
I voted for [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name], but I also like [name]Arianwen[/name] Roisen. I think that [name]Arianwen[/name] Roisen sounds good with your short surname, but I prefer the [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name] combination.
I personally like [name]Aoife[/name] [name]Seren[/name] (would th meaning be beautiful star or radiant star?? That is GORGEOUS!!). But I do think it’s a bit close to your name, [name]Caoimhe[/name]. Maybe [name]Seren[/name] [name]Aoife[/name] [name]Jones[/name]?? I like it.
Good luck!
mmm [name]Seren[/name] [name]Aoife[/name] [name]Jones[/name] is nice… I’ll run that one past him too!
Thanks! [name]Caoimhe[/name] x
my great-grandmother, grand mother, mother and sister all have the same middle name, charlotte. so i think its sweet to share your mn with your daughter.
[name]Love[/name] love love [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name]!
I actually love [name]Arianwen[/name]. It is a little hard to say, I suppose…but it’s so pretty and feminine. What nicknames would you use for it?
As [name]Arianwen[/name] is a long name but I’m fairly convinced no one would mispronounce it… you say it how it’s spelt… As far as nn goes, there are many options: [name]Ari[/name], [name]Ree[/name], [name]Anwen[/name], Wen, [name]Annie[/name]… What do you think?
Thinking ahead: [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Niamh[/name] [name]Seren[/name] and [name]Arianwen[/name] [name]Roisin[/name] work as sisters if we have another girl? Or do you think that if we choose a welsh fn and irish mn this time round we should stick to that order?
[name]Gwyn[/name] immediately rejected [name]Gwyneth[/name] - sorry rollo! He doesn’t mind [name]Seren[/name] [name]Aoife[/name] but doesn’t love it, so we’re back to the original 2!
Thanks [name]Caoimhe[/name] x
