Thanks [name]Jill[/name]!

Youve put so much thought into that :slight_smile: Much appreciated!

catalina is nice & definitely like lina as a nn. in fact im considering lina as first name for my next daughter, due in 2 months time! its quite popular in france.
annelie is pretty, not keen on the other names.
all the best

I like [name]Annelie[/name]!
It sounds so nice. I may pronounce it differently though, since I’m [name]German[/name].

Oh cool, I read that it is a [name]German[/name] name and the name of a [name]German[/name] film in the 1940s so I’d be interested to know how you pronounce it if you could write it out phonetically?

You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked some of them! (And for what it’s worth, I personally don’t think that [name]Thea[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Belle[/name]–or [name]Kate[/name]–is too much with your last name.) :slight_smile:

I think it’s fascinating that [name]Bryn[/name] and [name]Wynn[/name] are typically male names, because I’ve only heard them on girls in the US! I love learning about names from other cultures.

Oh! And I love [name]Catalina[/name] [name]Seren[/name], too! :slight_smile: I love your idea of [name]Cassia[/name] [name]Luned[/name].

What are some fashionable Welsh names at the moment? I know you’re probably busy, but if you feel like and have time, I’d love to know a few of them!

Have a good day! :slight_smile:

Germans pronounce [name]Anne[/name] differently than speakers of English.
We pronounce the e in [name]Ann[/name]-E-lie as an actual weak e (probably comparable to the sound of the first e in elephant or [name]Elizabeth[/name]) and the a is as in car.
If my description doesn’t help I could send you a link, of a [name]German[/name] saying the word ā€˜Kanne’ which sounds like [name]Anne[/name] just with a k upfront

Eerrrm, well [name]Ruby[/name]'s very big here at the moment even though it’s not actually a Welsh name, mostly because the Welsh singer [name]Charlotte[/name] Church chose the name for her baby.

Welsh names I’ve seen used on baby girls recently, Cariad (welsh word for love), [name]Nia[/name] (knee-a), [name]Ffion[/name], [name]Sian[/name], [name]Catrin[/name], [name]Seren[/name], [name]Lowri[/name], [name]Rhian[/name]/[name]Rhiannon[/name], [name]Eleri[/name], Angharad.

The ā€œbigā€ over the top Welsh names like [name]Myfanwy[/name], [name]Branwen[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name] etc are considered slightly silly in general here!

My little sister is 10 and goes to a welsh school, some of her friends are called [name]Meg[/name], [name]Anwen[/name], [name]Llio[/name], [name]Nia[/name], [name]Catrin[/name], but then she also has [name]Ella[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Natasha[/name] etc so while traditional Welsh names are popular, we’re not immune to the top 100 names either![/quote]

Thanks, L! I know a [name]Catrin[/name], and I had no idea her name is Welsh! I’ve always loved [name]Anwen[/name], and I like a lot of the other names, too. (I need to look up the pronunciations of some of them, though.) :slight_smile:

I forgot about [name]Charlotte[/name] Church’s [name]Ruby[/name]. Has [name]Dexter[/name] caught on, too? (Isn’t that the name of her baby boy?)

Oh! [name]How[/name] is [name]Carys[/name] pronounced where you live? I’ve only heard CARE-iss in the U.S…

Thanks again, L! :slight_smile:
