HelpRe: Some Welsh names
in reply to a message by Elphi
I love Welsh names for their meanings and their flowing sounds. However, the pronunciation is a challenge and I hate the thought of a child's name being butchered throughout her lifetime. Ceridwen is lovely, though I'm not even sure how to pronounce it (though I know I've seen it before). Myfanwy just looks like "my fanny" and makes me giggle.
My favorite Welsh name is Carys (means "with love").

I'm from South Wales in the UK and one of my favourite names is Seren. It's still unusual over here and not used much yet...!

Seren
I like Seren, it is simpler than Ceridwen and Myfawny. And it is similar to Serena, another name I like.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
