Modern Welsh boy names?

[Cwtch22]

Can anyone help me out by suggesting some modern sounding Welsh boys names? Most of the lists have quite old fashioned names on them.

I loved the name Macsen (pronouned Maxson), which is actually quite an old name but sounds modern but its quite similar to our sons name. Morgan was also on the list but I'm seeing more girls pop us with this name. So far Griffin seems to be at the top of the list but I seem to be getting odd looks from family members when I suggest it! We already have a Dylan, Rhys, Ieuan, David, and Gareth in the family so can only really be considered for middle names.

Any suggestions?

Thanks x

Gethin?

I'm not sure what you'd consider old fashioned though. DS has a friend called Iestyn which I thought old fashioned at first but now I Love it.

I would go for Morgan as I've used it myself! Have come across one girl with the same name at school which was a bit confusing for ds but no other boys so far, which is why we liked it as he'll be fairly unique. It possibly helps that we don't live Wales.

It's very old but surely due a comeback?

I know a baby Idris, a baby Llew and a baby Sion. Another old name that I've heard recently is Tyvion, it sounds like it could also work in a modern setting to me.

Other names that might work;

Harri
Dylan
Gruffydd
Iestyn
Emyr
Teilo

[CeriBerry]

I love Iago!
Owain
Elgan
