[name]Brynn[/name] and [name]Bronwyn[/name] are my all time favorite names :slight_smile:

[name]Carys[/name] or [name]Cerys[/name] are lovely :slight_smile: We have a baby [name]Carys[/name] in our family.

Also [name]Seren[/name], [name]Enid[/name], [name]Rhiannon[/name], [name]Gwen[/name]/[name]Gwenna[/name]/Gwenno, [name]Ffion[/name], [name]Delyth[/name], [name]Anwen[/name], [name]Nia[/name], [name]Rowena[/name], [name]Sian[/name] and [name]Sioned[/name].

[name]Hope[/name] you like some of these :slight_smile:

For me there are better names than those on the list (hope you not offended!)

For me, i am loving [name]Ianto[/name] (yan-toh) and also [name]Iago[/name]. [name]Griffin[/name] is welsh - a very cool name that offers ‘finn’ as a nn.

For girls, my favourite is [name]Bronwyn[/name] nn [name]Winnie[/name]. [name]Tegan[/name] is also nice, meaning pretty/fair xx

[name]Carys[/name] is my all time favorite girls name. I also love [name]Rhiannon[/name].

I voted for [name]Carys[/name] although I love [name]Wynn[/name] and [name]Guinevere[/name] a lot too, [name]Seren[/name] is my all time favourite welsh name :slight_smile:

good luck!

[name]Just[/name] for clarification, in [name]Wales[/name], the ending -wyn is male, while -wen is female, so [name]Bronwyn[/name] is the boys’ spelling, and [name]Bronwen[/name], the girls’.

I voted for [name]Guinevere[/name]. Probably because my name is derived from it, but I also just think it is a pretty name.

I love [name]Carys[/name]!

I voted for [name]Carys[/name], but I love [name]Wynn[/name] and [name]Bryn[/name], too! My favorite Welsh girl’s name is [name]Seren[/name], though. So pretty, and I’m pretty sure it means ‘star’. (Sorry if I’m wrong). Good luck!

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] is my favorite Welsh name! I also love [name]Bronwen[/name]. But my favorite on your list is [name]Carys[/name].

I love [name]Guinevere[/name], but [name]Carys[/name] is pretty too. [name]Bryn[/name] and [name]Wynn[/name] are boy’s names, so if you want to truly honor your heritage, better use them on the right gender!

My husband’s name is Wynford (“white torrent”), which I love. [name]Cadan[/name] is another very ancient but modern-sounding Welsh boys’ name - sounds like something out of the Twilight saga. For girls, a very rare but beautiful Welsh name I have always liked is Tirion (“gentle”), but we called our daughters [name]Ffion[/name] (fee-on, “foxglove”) and [name]Morwenna[/name]. My very Welsh husband was keen on “Nest” for one of the girls, after a famously beautiful medieval princess who was known as the “[name]Helen[/name] of [name]Wales[/name]”, but I didn’t think that would work too well in an English-speaking country!

It has to be [name]Guinevere[/name] - I like the sound and feel of it. I also think [name]Maeve[/name] is lovely.

[name]Seren[/name] & [name]Carys[/name]

For girls, I love:
[name]Carys[/name], [name]Eleri[/name], [name]Rhiannon[/name], & Merewyn

For boys, I love:
[name]Trevor[/name], [name]Rhys[/name], Tecwyn, & [name]Griffith[/name]

I like [name]Carys[/name] best. I would vote [name]Brynn[/name] but you left out an n. I really think two n’s makes it fuller. Good luck:) I also love Aderyn it means bird. ([name]Ad[/name]-er-ryn)
