How is Dilys perceived in Wales?

[SleepyCatOnTheMat]

Middle class, working class, old lady, young person, neither here nor there? Have always liked the name Dilys.

[SleepyCatOnTheMat]

No Welsh people on here tonight?

[AmandinePoulain]

Old lady.

Or Dilys Price from Fireman Sam.

Sorry!

[BackforGood]

Well, I'm English, of Welsh stock if that helps ?

All Dilys's I know are older ladies. By looking at the names given to children over the last few years though, that probably means it's about due for a revival. I do think it's a pretty name.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Old lady name,not in the vintage way say, Pearl, is thought of either,more like Ethel.

[lolalotta]

Old lady!

[SmellsLikeWeenSpirits]

Old lady in a headscarf who runs the corner shop

Who's that Hollywood type who's called their daughter Bryn?

Bryn is Dilys's husband

[cadidog]

Welsh speaker here and Dilys is an old lady name but given the trend for old fashioned names I don't think that's the end of the world.

[MrsHiddleston]

Old lady and not in a cool way.

[Pouncer1]

Another welshie here and a 100% no to the name Dilys! I really can't imagine a baby with that name!

[mejon]

Another Welsh speaker - definitely old lady and not in a good way. I think Olwen is another one.

[AuntieBrenda]

Old lady deffo

[olivertheoctopus]

That hideous brat in Fireman Sam's mother. Although it is actually quite a pretty name. But then I am not welsh and do not live in Wales...

[ClaraOswald]

Old lady.

More gertrude and agatha than Pearl and Ivy

[SurreyWithAFringeOnTop]

Old lady, but I think it is lovely - very delicate and pretty sounding.

Due a comeback I think

[smother]

I really love it!

Cerys is also very pretty without any of the old lady connotations.

[pussycatwillum]

Dilys is definitely a woman with curlers, a headscarf (and probably a fag). But then so was Lily until a little while ago and that has enjoyed a resurgence. Be a trendsetter.
