welsh names...

[cherelle]

Im English but i live in Cardiff with my OH who is very welsh and very patriotic!

We are trying to agree on some choices for names - he insists they are welsh and i dont mind that but i cant find mnay nice welsh names :-s

So far the only ones we agree on are Nia for a girl or Trystan or a boy.

Some of his suggestions are awful though lol! Any suggestions? xx

I have no idea of any Welsh names hun Sorry! Trystan is lovely, my OH wanted an Irish name and I also got hit with some mingers when we were discussing names xx

 

[Cherrycola]

Mmm I'm not welsh so not much use but I do remember some Welsh girls on here posting lists of welsh names and being jealous as some were just lovely. Me and OH are both Scottish so think an obviously Welsh name would just sound daft for us!

Cerys isn't a bad name for a girl, and Daffyd for a boy, but other than that i'm stuck on welsh names, the only other one i know is Myfawny and thats only because my DH's grandma was named that and we were gonna use it as a middle name if we had a girl xx

we were gonna use Mali for a girl. ended up with Morgan. I love Owain, Ieuan..trystan is fab. for a girl also is lowri, cerys, seren... ive had a mental block but there are some lovely girly names, its a bit harder with boys names if you cant pronounce welsh too well. I love Dewi, but it seems only welsh people can say it right

 

[Cherrycola]

Ooooh I love the names Lowri and Seren! So wish I was Welsh!

My Mum is Welsh and her name is Olwen, I love it!

 

[titch]

Celyn, just popped into my head!! It means Holly

 

[star fish]

I think Nia and Trystan are wonderful names!! Why are you even thinking about it?

 

[cherelle]

thanks everyone!

Tiny - we both like Mali so thats also a possiblity, We agreed on Mali months ago whilst ttc but weve said the name so much now im bored of it! lol. I love Morgan too - think its nice for either boy or girl x

I have chosen Bethan which is welsh even though I prefer Irish names especialy Aingeal I think it's really pretty. =) xXx

the welsh lad i know is named martyn david edward carey
but i know thats just how he says it to people here so we understand him lol

i know the david bit changes to Daffydd when hes visiting family lol

I knew a guy from Cardiff and he sounded more english when he spoke than i did

There are loads of welsh baby name websites

My favourite Welsh names are Bryn (boy) or Tomos (boy) and Ffion (girl) or Gwenyth (girl)

 

[cherelle]

Yeah they dont have too much of a welsh accent here in Cardiff - my fella is from back west though so even i struggle with his very strong accent sometimes lol! Sexy though

We are going to have a little bilingual family

I like Bryn - hadnt heard that one before. My OH likes Mabli atm but im NOT convined! x

 

[kellylou]

I am welsh but baby is being born in england as we are on the border and hubby wanted english baby we looked at names and I really liked Caiden for a boy but he wouldn't agree on it when we found out we were having a boy.

Seren is lovely for a girl too as is Cerys or Carys, Nia.

yeah - have you contacted twf? Its a government scheme i think that apparently sends you out some tapes and books etc if youre looking to have a welsh and english speaking family.

My welsh is very basic and not great but im hoping to learn more and more with my little one! x
