A women I work with, Caryn Samuel, just had a little baby girl yesterday and she named her,

Bronwyn Theodora

Caryn also has two older kids, Larkyn Ramona(7), & Zander Pilot(15).


What do you think?

Bronwen is my mum's name :D I love the way Bronwyn Theodora sounds. It's gorgeous.

I also like Larkyn and Zander, but not so much the middle names.

I was thinking of it as a boys name, and for some stupid reason it makes me think of Pierce Brosnan (don't ask me why). But now that I see it spelled Bronwyn and put together with Theodora, I kind of like it. And I think it works well with the other names, Larkyn and Zander. I LOVE the name Larkyn! :D

I love the name Bronwen. One of my all time favorites! Definitely at the top.

It reminds me of a Welsh princess.... very regal and beautiful, but not overly fussy and flowery and showy like Latinate names can be.

And Ashleigh, I think it's wonderful and kind of funny your mom is named Bronwen, the only people I know named Bronwen have all been from Australia!! Is it a popular name there?

I know a girl called Bronwyn! {Her twins name is Charlotte}
Their mother wanted to use Welsh names. :P

{Their middle names are also Welsh}.

I adore it! :P
I think it's different, classy and not strange in the least!

It also makes me think of a little elf girl. :D
Love it.

Though Theodore isn't my kind of name. ♥
