My DS is Glyn, DH is Welsh, I am English. I think it's a solid, no-nonsense name which is easy to pronounce in England and also for our Spanish and Belgian relatives.
Always loved Iestyn but don't think it is as easily pronounced.

I agree with you tiggy but I can't use it as it's my nephew's name!

Now Evan is lovely. Not too common, (in either respect!)not boring, not hard to pronounce or spell, not too fashionable or 'of the moment' just a good solid, timeless, ageless, classless, but slightly unusual name, and still very Welsh. Perfect.

Exactly, I just think of Richard Bryars... Arthur Thooelin Jenkins or whatever it was!

Llewelyn is more 'known' though, due to old Lawrence. No bugger can ever say it though can they. You'd get Thew-elin or similar attempts.

OMG Abakhan yes, brings back memories of trips with my nan!
Dysgu, Llewelyn too difficult I think, as is Meirionydd, & I can't use Rhys.

You are thinking of the Abakhan Migola, which is 5 minutes away from Mostyn/Greenfield market.

I am on the Isle of Wight now. Used to live in Wrexham and originally from Ponterwyd (Aberystwyth).

One of my mum's brothers was Cynfelin. Other is Dewi.

I also like Evan.

I fave two daughters - and they have Italian names (DP's heritage).

Still like Gruffydd. Or Llewelyn? Merionydd? Rhys?

I've always liked Dewi, myself. The trouble with the others is the traditional spelling. Unless he spends most of his life in Wales it will be an absolute burden no matter how much you might want to keep it real!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
