Wdyt: Cornish names
I've liked Tamsin for a long while, but recently others have been popping up into view. What do you think of:Endellion
Morwenna
Demelza
TamsinAny other suggestions? "The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."

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.

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.Others I like...Elowen
Eseld
Merryn
