I really like [name]Annelie[/name]!

[cew1114]

I like the name [name]Annelie[/name], but spelled [name]Analie[/name]. You are pronouncing it [name]Anna[/name]- lee right?

I love some of the name combos mentioned above though

Nice to meet you all anyway! Thanks for the feedback

[name]Hi[/name] Guys,

This is my first time posting on here! Like most of us on here I”ve been an avid name fan since I was about 7 years old and my Mum bought me a ”name dictionary”. I was forever putting together name combinations for my future children which I now look back on and cringe at!!

My partner and I are now at the point where we know we will probably try for our first baby in the next 18months ” 2 years so my obsession with names has reached fever pitch! Luckily for me, I have a fella who not only indulges my constant ”what do you think of this name?” texts while we”re both working but who actually finds the subject interesting too (though he”s not what I”d call obsessed either!).

Between us we”ve settled on a few favourites which keep popping up now. We tend to favour unusual, pretty but not wacky names for girls with a bit of a European flare. As we are both Welsh we also want Welsh middle names however my partner is a non Welsh speaker so something easy for non Welsh Speakers to pronounce also! So these are our top 5 first names for girls, followed by several possible welsh middle names. Opinions and suggestions welcome!! What combinations would you use??:

1. [name]Claudie[/name]
2. [name]Annelie[/name] ([name]German[/name] name pronounced [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Lee[/name])
3. [name]Mirabella[/name]
4. [name]Thea[/name]
5. [name]Lilia[/name]

Angharad (ang-ha-rud, means dearly loved)
[name]Anwen[/name] (ann-when, means very pretty)
Celyn (kel-in, means [name]Holly[/name], both a male and female name in Welsh)
[name]Efa[/name] (air-va as opposed to eve-a, Welsh form of [name]Eve[/name], means life)
[name]Eirian[/name] (ay-ree-un, means brilliant or silver)
[name]Eluned[/name] ([name]El[/name]-in-ed, means desired)
[name]Enid[/name] (en(like in henry)-id and not een-id as I speak Welsh and this is the way the word Soul is really pronounced in welsh!!)
[name]Delyth[/name] (dell-ith, means pretty)
[name]Ffion[/name] (fee-on, means foxglove)
[name]Gwenna[/name] (gwen-ah, means smile)
Haf (pronounced more like the [name]Harve[/name] in [name]Harvey[/name], but with a slightly shorter ”a” sound. Not quite Have though!, means summer in welsh)
[name]Mai[/name] (My ” means month of [name]May[/name] in Welsh)
[name]Manon[/name] (man-on, means wished for child)
[name]Rhiannon[/name] (means great queen)
[name]Rowena[/name] ([name]Ro[/name]-en-a, means famous friend)
[name]Seren[/name] (se(as in [name]Sebastian[/name])-wren, means star)

Can”t wait to hear your responses and ideas!! xx

[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Anwen[/name], what about [name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Anwen[/name] instead?
[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Claudie[/name] - so cute
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Delyth[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Enid[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Ffion[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Gwenna[/name]
[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Gwen[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Mai[/name]
[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Seren[/name]
[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Rowan[/name] instead of [name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Rowena[/name] - love

It would be great if you could write a blog on Welsh names. I’m sure it would be well received!

[amelie]

[name]Just[/name] a quick question: how do you pronounce [name]Rowena[/name]? I’ve heard ro-EE-na and ROW-enna but I wasn’t sure which… I really want to like it, but ro-EEE-na but sounds silly to me…

of your names I love [name]Mirabelle[/name] and [name]Thea[/name]! So classic and pretty I’m a big fan of [name]Rhiannon[/name] too – I love the [name]Fleetwood[/name] [name]Mac[/name] song! and that’s not a bad association in my book

[ljandrl]

Thanks for the opinions I’m happy that you think the names sound classy as that is very important to me. While I want something unique I couldn’t bare to sound trendy!

[ljandrl]

Another quick question…

[name]How[/name] would everyone pronounce [name]Mirabella[/name]? Meer-abella or like Mirror-bella? x
