DP has just suggested this. At first I didn't like it but it's really growing on me. Shortened to Lewi?

Love it and considered it briefly for ds but we live in England I thought it might be a tad difficult for him here. Went with a much shorter/simpler Welsh name instead. (Which people STILL get wrong occasionally - you can't win!)

Actually Llywelyn is the original name. I like it, but only if you live in Wales.

I don't read Llywelyn as a surname, but Lloyd IS.

I love it. And like Lewi as a nn.
But Sausage is right.
I have a Dewi and always have to spell that. And old ladies always mishear and call him Jerry.

Too much of a surname for me (I know loads of them!) How about Lloyd?

Mmmmmmmmm. You're right. Typo there too! Should be Llewelyn. Doh!

He'll spend his life telling people how to spell it
