Re: A name for the fourth child
in reply to a message by MoCro
I actually pronounce Carys and Cerys differently. Carys has a short ah sound, as in Cat - Cah-riss
Cerys has is an eh sound, as in Care - Cair-iss.I love Carys. I like the look of Cerys, but I don't like the sound. If Cerys is cah-riss then I like the sound. How are you pronouncing Cerys?I wouldn't worry about it being unusual- sure you may have to correct people once or twice but most people will get it after being told once or twice. And people can mess up even simple names- people here always get Sara wrong! And even a Caitlin will always have to spell her name. It's not a big deal IMO.I think it goes well with her siblings.

So, Cerys is pronounced as CARE-iss while Carys is pronounced more along of the lines of CAH-riss. http://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/pronunciation.html
