Guinevere

My favorites are Cerys, Gwendolen, and Nia.
Off of your list, I like Briallen, Heledd, and Rhosyn. They're lovely, so lovely. And I'll admit it - Myfanwy is starting to grow on me. I'm not sure why, but I think it's the combination of spelling and sound. So adorable. So there's my top four: Briallen, Heledd, Rhosyn, and Myfanwy.

Llyr is my favorite too, mostly because it means sea. I also really love Idris.

I can't think of any Welsh girl names that I especially like.

I'm probably not pronouncing them right but I like Rhosyn, Olwen, Gwenllian and Gwyneira best. My favourite welsh names are Tegwen and Gwyneth. I like all of yours though.

I love Myfanwy and Olwen. I love the meaning of Llinos, and the sound is growing on me. Give me a bit with it still. Gwyneira, Blodeuwedd, Glaw, and Rhosyn are nice too.

Great list. You've got one of mine on there: Myfanwy. Gawd, it's so gorgeous.

Angharad used to have an undisputed reign as my #1 favorite Welsh girl's name. But lately Myfanwy has been giving her a run for her money. (I accept bribes, you know.)

Glynis is another quirky favorite of mine. Eirlys too.
