P.S Blodwen has got to be one of the least surprisingly-vetoed names of all time

Mess with the system. Go with Ned.

Downside to that plan, Skittles, is that I'd then have a child called Ned

I also vetoed Morag

Llewellyn, I quite like, although I keep thinking about Laurence Llewellyn Davis.
I think Patrick/Padraig would make a good middle name for a boy

I also really like Llewyn, as in Inside Llewyn Davis the film, but apparently it's not a real Welsh name

Dilys? I love the sound of this, but someone told me it was a Welsh granny name...

I love Arianwen and Gwenllian for girls and Gethin and Cerith for boys 😊

-wyn indicates a boy. -wen a girl.
Bromwyn isn't a name, Bronwyn is horrible, Bronwen is lovely.
Brenin as a boy's name has to be a joke.

Gwilym is popular, Welsh for William.

I prefer Llywelyn to Llewelyn. Llewellyn is the anglicised form.
Dilys rhymes with Phyllis.

Avoid LLs as they are unpronounceable outside native mother tongue Welsh speakers.
G is always hard in welsh. Ng is a separate letter - usually ng not ng-g.
Vowel combinations like wy, ei and eu are unpronounceable outside native mother tongue Welsh speakers.

Myfanwy is pronounced Muv-ann-wy - the wy bit sounds like the English "with" without the "th".

Names - ending -ir or are unpronounceable outside native mother tongue Welsh speakers.

How about Caradog for a boy - Car-AD-og

I know Dilys rhymes with Phyllis. Not sure what your point is... (I like the sound of Phyllis too!)
