[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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). [/quote]

OP here and I also love Anwen but DH thinks it’s too close to Arwen from Lord of the Rings. Which might be WHY I love it. We are huge nerds and I love Tolkien, whose seems to be quite Wales-inspired by many of his character names. But we are probably not quite nerdy enough to give our baby a name right out of Tolkien. Probably. I may still talk DH into it. :)

Btw, one of the reasons we went down this path is because the lead in the new LotR show is a Welsh actress named Morfydd Clark. I was like “see, she has an ultra-Welsh name and she’s ver successful and appears to be a lovely person!” We don’t want to use Morfydd but seeing real people using these names inspired me to dig in a bit on my Welsh roots to see if there was a name we loved.[/quote]
