Ive posted a few times mentioning the name [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] and its been on our list for so long, and it is our daughters favourite that we’ve decided we cant not use it. But we are still struggling with the middle name. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_u]Fox[/name_u] were previous options but they can no longer be used. So now we have:
^ We like both for different reasons but I like one more than the other and my partner prefers the other one.
Partner also suggested [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. But I dont like the Wen / [name_u]Win[/name_u] sounds together. However I do like the concept. I suggested [name_f]Eira[/name_f] or [name_f]Eirlys[/name_f] (I’m Welsh) but partner hasnt agreed to them (He’s Scottish and can’t pronounce them).
This will be a Halloween baby and I love [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] / [name_u]Winter[/name_u] / Halloween so I also like the idea of incorporating those into the middle name somehow too. Its just everything I have thought of so far we decided against.
Arwen [name_f]Elvia[/name_f] doesn’t flow as well, imho, and I think it’s a little too elf-ish as well. I prefer the simplicity of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] with [name_f]Arwen[/name_f].
[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! [name_m]Ive[/name_m] not found many other welsh people on here, so its nice to see another.
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is lovely, and i thing [name_f]Eira[/name_f] is the most beautiful, but if your partner doesn’t like it…
[name_f]May[/name_f] i sugest:
Hydref
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] (because its like gaeaf but more pronouncable)
Medi
[name_u]Calan[/name_u] ([name_u]Calan[/name_u] Gaeaf= Halloween in welsh)
Maybe [name_f]Eira[/name_f] would be easier to pronounce if you went for Heira
If you wanted to play off Halloween you could go for [name_f]Eve[/name_f], Like [name_u]Hallow[/name_u]'s eve
Yeah those were pretty bad suggestions, sorry, i hope you find the perfect middle name
Tried my best to think of some interesting Welsh names that could be pronounced by someone who know no Welsh. This was what I could come up with. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] it helps.
Dylan - similar to deilen (leaf)
[name_f]Efa[/name_f] - form of [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Ffion[/name_f] - foxglove
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f] - laurel
[name_f]Nia[/name_f] - bright
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] - great queen
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] - star
Tiwlip - tulip
I second [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Snow[/name_u] instead of [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. Some other ideas:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Cambria[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Mairead[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is gorgeous. Although would you consider two middles? [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] would be such a lovely combo!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Cherith[/name_f], which means winter stream?
I went to high school with an Arwen. Her MN started with an E (if I remember right), but I can’t recall her full MN for the life of me. I love the name because of this, but would never be brave enough to use it myself.
I’m loving PP’s suggestions of [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Snow[/name_u], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f]!
Unfortunately, I also agree with PP’s point that [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elvia[/name_f] does feel a bit like doubling down on the elvish connections. Alternate suggestions:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Eileen[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Eluned[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elysia[/name_f]
Perhaps [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Snow[/name_u]? I think that combination sounds so elegant and incorporates winter into the name. Other options could be [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] ([name_u]Blair[/name_u] Witch Project), [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (Halloween [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]), [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f], or [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]’s [name_u]Baby[/name_u]). [name_f]My[/name_f] sister in law was born ON Halloween and her name is [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] after [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] the Teenage Witch. Good luck!
I adore [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] so [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is a winner for me.
Not so sure about [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elvia[/name_f] as [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is an elf in the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings so it seems a bit too much of the same theme IMO.
Liking everyone else’s suggestions of autumnal names, so how about:
Arwen [name_f]Jora[/name_f] (autumn rain)
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f] (golden princess)
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Ceres[/name_f] (roman goddess of harvest and sounds like [name_f]Carys[/name_f] if you wanted to keep the Welsh theme)
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] (sounds like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], an autumnal tree)
Good luck deciding and all the best with the rest of your pregnancy!
i hope you find the perfect middle name
