原My father was from Europe. I am 1st generation in the US for my family. My parents gave me the name Ceridwen named after a Welsh princess (Wales) from the 1800's. They called me Ceri (pronounced Kerri) - Ceri is the Welsh spelling for Kerri. I grew up in a country town - Woodstock, GA. I had to tell everybody how to pronounce my name. It was so aggravating growing up! Now I love it. Ceri.

我是一个Ceri,我喜欢这个名字。我是一个作家和讲故事的人,我喜欢名字Ceridwen(和缩小的Ceri)的意义和历史。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e我有很多人误导Ceri之前,但它并没有真正打扰我。我遇到的每个人都很高兴,一旦他们知道如何正确地发音。大多数人都说,“用英语,c before e是软的”,我回答说,“ceri”不是一个英语名字;它是一个威尔士的名字,在威尔士“c”总是困难。
原I'm a Ceri, and I love the name. I'm a writer and storyteller, and I love the meaning and history of the name Ceridwen (and the diminuative Ceri).
I've had many people mispronounce Ceri before, but it doesn't really bother me. Everyone I've met has been happy to pronounce it correctly once they know how. The most anyone has said is, "In English, c before e is soft", to which I answer that "Ceri" isn't an English name; it's a Welsh name and in Welsh "c" is ALWAYS hard.
原The reason behind people naturally pronouncing "Ceri" as "sair-ee" is that in English, a "C" before an "E" is traditionally pronounced as an "S". I find it very hard to believe that so many people believe that others should be well brought-up in Welsh as to articulate it as "care-ee"/"KE-re", or the such.
All in all, unless it is pronounced "sair-ee", I really am not a large fan of this diminutive... nor am I a fan of "Ceridwen", by any means.
原Apparently my parents called me Ceri thinking it was short for Ceridwen. I always thought they were wrong, but now BTN tells me they were actually right after all.
原I'm a Ceri. Before I lived in Wales, people often used to assume that it was pronounced "Seri". If it were actually said like that, I'd have to say that'd be a little tragic as my surname contains S's. Despite always having to add "spelt the Welsh way" or "with a C" whenever people ask me my name, I quite like the spelling. It adds a quirky touch to what would otherwise be a not-very-unusual name.

译 我的父亲来自欧洲。我是美国第一代为我的家人。我的父母给了我名字Ceridwen命名从威尔士公主(威尔士)从1800年代。他们叫我Ceri(发音为Kerri) - Ceri是Kerri的威尔士拼写。我在一个乡村城镇长大 - 伍德斯托克,乔治亚州。我不得不告诉大家如何发音我的名字。它是如此加重成长!现在我喜欢它。 Ceri。

译 人们自然地将“Ceri”发音为“sair-ee”的原因在于,在英语中,在“E”之前的“C”传统上被称为“S”。我觉得很难相信,这么多人认为其他人应该在威尔士得到很好的养成,以表达它为“护理”/“KE-re”或这样。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e所有总之,除非它是“sair-ee”,我真的不是这个缩影的大粉丝......也不是我以“Ceridwen”的粉丝。

译 显然我的父母叫我Ceri认为这是Ceridwen的缩写。我一直认为他们错了,但现在BTN告诉我,他们实际上是对的。 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e对不起妈妈和爸爸!
Sorry mum and dad!

译 我是一个Ceri。在我住在威尔士之前,人们常常认为它是发音为“Seri”。如果它实际上是这样说的,我不得不说,有点悲剧,因为我的姓氏包含S。\u003cbr\u003e虽然总是不得不添加“拼写威尔士的方式”或“与C”,每当有人问我的名字,我很喜欢拼写。它增加了一个古怪的触摸,否则将是一个不是很常见的名称。
