[ilovewelshrarebit123]

Harri
Lloyd
Evan
Ioan (yo an)
Iestyn
Iolo
Macsen

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Is Iolo pronounced yo-lo?

[ilovewelshrarebit123]

Yes, it's a popular Welsh name.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

It's nice but it would remind me of that Yolo thing that da kidz say these days.

[Spindelina]

Madoc

[Sadik]

I love Macsen - and it's very easy for English speakers. Otherwise something like Gareth, Dylan, Morgan, Owain?

( Mitzy - dd was telling me about a classmate who was obsessed with marking her bags and all her books #YOLO and I spent half the conversation thinking she had a new boyfriend called Iolo . . . )

[WatchingFromTheWings]

Dylan.
Rhys.
Osian.
Iestyn.
Owain.
Emyr.

[bomfunk]

Aneurin? Most people aware of the name because of Aneurin bevan, and can be shortened to 'nye'

[bomfunk]

Beware of names that will be constantly mispronounced. 'Hedd' for example will be mispronounced as 'head' (should sound like Haithe). Dylan will be Dillon instead of dull-Ann. Owain will be Owen. Don't even go there with dafydd, or basically any name with 'll', 'ch' or 'dd' letters

What about Trystan? Rhys? Macsen? Macs? Aled? Ioan?

[smartyclogs]

Op, I've seen your other threads about boys names, have you discounted Hugo, Vincent, Francis and Nathaniel then?

[DellaPorter]

Glyn

[Sophronia]

Emlyn
Aled
Alwyn
Bryn
Carwyn
Dylan
Ellis
Evan
Harri
Huw
Idris
Macsen
Marc
Merrion
Morgan
Owen
Rhodri
Rhys
Rhydian
Steffan
Tristan

smartyclogs - hvnt found 'The One' yet, so still trying to add names to our list .. is that ok ?

Thanks for all the suggestions , very appreciated :) x

[smartyclogs]

Op, yes of course!
Was just curious to know if the other names were still contenders or not.

[Tiggeryoubastard]

Huw - the best uncle you could imagine so maybe I'm biased. Do so love the name.
Geraint. Quite easy for English tongues. And a fantastic name.

[dreamingofsun]

husband like geraint.....it reminded me of grunt though....do agree about huw being fab though

[Tiggeryoubastard]

Omg no, not grunt. In my (ignorant) Englishness Geraint is very easy. Gerant. Bit (not a lot) more pronunciation in Welsh but beautiful.

[TheSunnySide]

Aneurin should be pronounced
an-ay-rin despite the 'nye' shortening.
