I've really been gushing over Eseld recently and also love Elowen.

ETA: I also love Tamsin. The others on your list don't particularly appeal to me but they are nice enough names.

I should look more into Cornish names. My 4th gr grandparents were from Cornwall but the family names I know of so far are rather traditional English names...John, Mary, Prudence, etc., nothing particularly Cornish.

I have a soft spot for Morwenna and I think it works well as a middle name for quite a few names I like. Juliet Morwenna, for example.

I didn't realise it was Cornish, I thought it was Welsh.

Tamsin's nice. Endellion sounds more male to me. I don't like the other two - they sound a bit witchy.

Out of these I like Morwenna and Tasmin.

All of my mum's side of the family are from Cornwall, so I really like Cornish names. I know a 20 year old Demelza, and Morwenna is really nice too.

How about (some of these are Cornish place names but they are also used as FNs in Cornwall)...

You know, I never gave Cornish names much thought, but I just looked them up and I like some of them. Morwenna is nice, and so is Tamsin. Tamsin is actually a name I would consider if I were having a kid.
