Traditional but uncommon and maybe some welsh

[deerman]

So me and my DW are expecting our first DC but we can't seem to find any names we both like. We also don't know if we are having a son or a daughter.

We both like traditional names but DW doesn't want anything too common.
She would also like something welsh either as a first name or a middle name.

So could you all please suggest some baby names for us

I love Iwan - the Welsh version of Euan.
Also like Rhys.

[deerman]

Thank you
DW likes Iwan but I'm not so sure.
And Rhys has already been used by a few family members so we can't use it as well.

How do you pronounce Celyn?

[mathanxiety]

Angharad
Aneurin

[Youreadthebabybooks]

Celyn is pronounced kel-in
It means holly in Welsh

[FlyDragonfly1]

DS2 is Ianto (Yan-To), which is a pet form of Ifan which is the Welsh equivalent of John.
We also had Idris, Iwan, Ieuan, Gethin and Griffith on the list.
How about Cerys, Carys, Seren, Eira (snow) for a girl?
