I really like Arwen and Bethan.

---

Cari is OK but I prefer it as a nickname. Carys is a welsh name which I love, and Cari could be a nickname for that :)

My neighbour growing up was named Aeron :) I don't see if often.
I really like Bethan, and I think my favourite Welsh name is Myfanwy. It sounds and looks whimsical to me.
I like Enid, Padereau, Tesni and Seren, too.

I really like a lot of Welsh names, some of my favs...

Some of my favorite Welsh names:

---

BOYS:
Awen /AH wen/
Emrys
Dewi /DEH oo-ee/
Celyn /KEH lin/
Gareth
Gethin
Idris

---

GIRLS:
Aderyn
Drysi (DROO see)- means "thorns" -- I love this, but the spelling will throw off English speakers
Tirion
Gwenith-- I like this one, but people will probably think it's a kreativ spelling of Gwyneth
Eleri
Briallen-- I love this name, it means "primrose," but it's really hard to say with the "ll" sound, but to say it in English seems like cheating.

Try this site for a rather complete listing of Welsh names, with pronunciations.

I used Bryn for my older daughter, I know though that in Wales it is traditionally a male name. She's 31 now and has always loved it.

I knew a girl named Nia. Spelt Nea. I really liked it. Bethan is pretty cute. And inlike Aeron. It would probley be mistaken for Aaron a lot though.
