I like Kerensa and Daveth

For the girls, I like Lowenna. For the boys, I like Jory.

---

All the girl names are beautiful! The boy names are a little strange. Vyvyan? Petrock? No way!

Demelza- I like this, like raindancing I know it well because of the charity.
Steren- Dislike the sound.
Rosen- I have trouble not pronouncing this the German way instead.
Rosenwyn- Could grow on me.
Ebrel- Sounds too like it's just April with an accent.
Hedra- Not too keen on the sound.
Kensa- Sounds nice, but might get associated with the Mackenzies etc.
Kerensa / Kerenza- Gorgeous.
Lowenna- Like it a lot, one of my favourites on this list.
Morwenna- The "Mor" makes me think of death : /
Sowena- Sounds like "sowing a..."
Tecca- Like it.
Lamorna - I hear La Mourner.
Elowen- Very pretty.
Dellen- Not sure about this one. I almost like it, but not quite.
Senara- Quite pretty.
Tegen- Too like Teagan.

Boys
Daveth- Like it.
Gerens- Doesn't do much for me really.
Corentyn- Ooh, interesting. I like the sound of this one.
Jacca- Sounds very nicknamey.
Jory- I prefer George.
Jowan- Quite like this one too, another variant to add to the list!
Kitto - Nice as a nn, but not as a full name.
Myghal- Prefer Michael.
Piran / Perran - Sounds very surnamey.
Petroc / Petrock - This is the name of a school near my house :p
Yestin - "Yes" sounds silly in a name imo.
Costentyn- Another nice one.
Nadelek- I saw dalek, how sad am I...
Kea- I prefer the spelling Kay.
Jago- I prefer Jacob and James, but this is nice for a change.
Sennen- Okay, not that exciting.
Vyvyan- Don't like it in either language.
Caswyn- Dislike it. Maybe I'm just used to the -wyn ending on girls?
Pasco - Pasco beats Pascal, but I still don't like it much.

Thanks for this, there are some great names on it :)

I love the look and meaning of Steren, but the sound is awful. It reminds me of "sterile" and "staring."
Rosenwyn is very, very pretty. Much better to me than most Rose- names.
Kensa is kind of cool.
Loving Kerensa and Kerenza. I didn't know it was Cornish. Someone once suggested Josephine Kerenza and I loved the combo.
Morwenna sounds very dark.
I'm not liking the Sow- on the front of Sowenna.
Dellen, Senara, Tegen, and especially Elowen are all very pretty.

Daveth is kind of cool.
I also like Corentyn, Perran, Costentyn, and Caswyn (reminds me of Caspian, which I love).

I love Kerensa (please forgive the pun)
My old teacher was called Demelza, and when it was used in the Harry Potter books she got a bit annoyed or to quote it "Grr.. my name is no longer mine!"
I also like Piran and Morwenna, and Jory is so cute for a nn for George. The rest could grow on me. Thanks for this thread - very interesting!
