Welsh baby names for a girl

[Anonymous]

I love Carys.

Isn’t Emlyn traditionally a boys name in Wales? (I agree it sounds like a girls name, but just flagging.)

I hate Carys. It sounds like a lotion.

Meredith here. Everyone always spells it wrong. I have no idea why. I don't hate it. It's fine, but I don't understand why people like it.

I studied abroad in Wales. Meredith is a boys name in wales as and pronounced muh - reh - dith by Welsh speakers. The way we say it is Americanized.

I really like the name Anwen (pronounced ann-when).

This is so dumb. You have a name for the entirety of your life, and go to playgrounds for a hot minute of it. Not everyone has a redneck Grandma either.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bryn yet. Love that name. You could also spell it with two nn as in Brynn.

It's a lighthearted way to make the point that a name that looks beautiful on paper may not be practical for real life.

P.S. Both of my kids have Welsh names and now that they are adults (and off the playground) they absolutely love having a slightly rare name on their college campuses.

Your compromise list is nice. I'll give Rhiannon a vote.
