[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Angharad is lovely.
I know a Ceredig (very rare, I imagine), similar to CaradogAnni is described as Finnish on here, but I assume it's Welsh for Annie?
I saw Nansi somewhere recently, and assume that's also Welsh, for Nancy, like Betsi for Betsy.
Betsi certainly gives Betsy a fresh appeal. Not sure about Anni - looks incomplete to the eye accustomed to Annie.

Ceredig is super rare! - great sighting. The original was a 5th-century king; he's got a county named after him, Ceredigion.
Yup, Anni is a common Welsh version of Annie. I've seen Ani, too - and Liwsi and Betsi and Nansi and Mali (Molly) and Magi, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

CeredigHow would you pronounce Ceredig (and Ceredigion)? I quite like the look of it.
