ArchivesRe: Welsh Names
in reply to a message by sarahlilli
Emlyn is very masculine to me. I wouldn't use it on a girl.
I'm of Welsh heritage too, so I love Welsh names. I think the Opinions Board would be better suited for your question, so you ought to try there. You'll get a lot more responses. But I'll tell you my favorites anyway. :)
Eira and Olwen are my absolute favorites, but I also like:
Bethan
Blodwen
Enid
Mared
Megan
Mererid
Myfanwy
Winifred
And also, congratulations on baby #2, and you ought to stick around at least while you're picking a name. We're good help with that stuff. :)

Thanks for that! I was really just coming on to find out the history of Emlyn, so that's why I came to this forum... but I am LOVING all the suggestions anyway :) Saves me searching through list after list after list...
I will be sticking around anyway... I am loving this site and I do a lot with our family history so it would be a good site to research some names that have come up :)
On your favourite names... How you do pronounce Eira? Is it with an "I" sound out the start or an "ee"...It means snow doesn't it? I was going through the E's yesterday and found Eirian and Eirlys and Eirwen... all of which looked lovely too but I don't really know about the Ei sound... Although I am kinda sold on Bethan or Betsan...
