Thinking of names for DC2.
Here are some that I like, any suggestions would be gratefully received!

We have Scottish, Welsh and - a generation further back - Irish heritage. Also English so I'd be up for an old-English name perhaps too.

Inigo
Taliesin
Osian
Aneurin
Idris

Arianwen
Mhairi
Ceridwen

(We'll use something more well-known for a middle name, perhaps Thomas, Marianne.)

Please, no people telling me I shouldn't choose names which the English struggle with, you'll get my standard death-of-Celtic-culture-in-action rant!! Wink

TIA :)

Cuchulain is unusual and most certainly Irish but not celtic as there is little to no celtic blood in Ireland.
