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

[ljandrl]

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?

I prefer only 2 middle names so I think I’m going to have to decide between Welsh names and honoring family in some cases!!

My favs that you suggested are as follows:

[name]Claudie[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] [name]Mair[/name]
[name]Claudie[/name] [name]Suzanna[/name] [name]Carys[/name]
[name]Claudie[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Lynwen[/name]
I love the [name]Claudie[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] options but [name]Bryn[/name] and [name]Wynn[/name] are boys names to me and I can’t picture them otherwise! Especially [name]Wynn[/name].
[name]Claudie[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Mair[/name] would be nice though or [name]Claudie[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Mai[/name] (welsh word for may, pronounced my)

[name]Mirabella[/name] [name]Roslyn[/name] is nice…if I give up the Welsh names!

[name]Thea[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Belle[/name] is beautiful!! This is exactly my style But I worry it’s a bit long winded with the surname? [name]Thea[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Belle[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]?
[name]Thea[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is also lovely and my great grandmother was [name]Kate[/name]!
[name]Thea[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Frances[/name] - pretty

[name]Catalina[/name] [name]Susanne[/name] is pretty, but as discussed before I think [name]Catalina[/name] [name]Seren[/name]'s a winner!

[name]Cassia[/name] (I’ve been pronouncing it cass-ee-uh)
I like [name]Cassia[/name] [name]Lynette[/name], but [name]Cassia[/name] [name]Luned[/name] (pronounced lyn-ed) uses a Welsh name and is similar!

Thanks so much for your help!

Might start a topic on naming after family vs using Welsh names! Lol.

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.)

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! 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!

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 ‘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 “big” 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.)

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!
