Ceri

No no no no no. No. This is so sad that anyone would want to name their daughter with this spelling. Carrie is much much better and if you don't like that you should go with Keri.

Aww, this is sweet, but I thought it was pronounced Sarey.

I'm a Ceri, and I love the name. I'm a writer and storyteller, and I love the meaning and history of the name Ceridwen (and the diminuative Ceri).

I've had many people mispronounce Ceri before, but it doesn't really bother me. Everyone I've met has been happy to pronounce it correctly once they know how. The most anyone has said is, "In English, c before e is soft", to which I answer that "Ceri" isn't an English name; it's a Welsh name and in Welsh "c" is ALWAYS hard.

This is my name; it's not bad being called Ceri, although if you say it aloud everyone thinks its spelled Kerry, and if you write it down people think your name is said SERRY.

I've never met another person called Ceri - apparently this is important to parents, although I don't really understand why. It's not like I spent my childhood going, "Wow another day at school being the only kid called Ceri; what a freaking thrill".

Apparently my parents called me Ceri thinking it was short for Ceridwen. I always thought they were wrong, but now BTN tells me they were actually right after all.

Sorry mum and dad!

I'm a Ceri. Before I lived in Wales, people often used to assume that it was pronounced "Seri". If it were actually said like that, I'd have to say that'd be a little tragic as my surname contains S's.
Despite always having to add "spelt the Welsh way" or "with a C" whenever people ask me my name, I quite like the spelling. It adds a quirky touch to what would otherwise be a not-very-unusual name.

I think that this is much prettier than the name Kerry, even though it's pronounced the same.
