These are all lovely names. My second daughter is called Ceri and my mothers name is Gladys.
These are all beautiful names, I’m feeling very inspired. Of course, I’d need to have a girl first!
I definitely want a name for my daughter with a Welsh influence. I’m thinking Gwendolyn but worried it might be too old fashioned.
I personally love traditional names and I think that older names do come back around in popularity – but it’s all about the connection you feel with your daughter and the name, so I wouldn’t worry if it’s too old fashioned or not. Gwen is a lovely shortened name as well.
