A nod to my Welsh father and a sibling to Charles and Wilfred - Charlie, Wilf and Griff.

What do you think?

Okay...

Gri-fifth.

Hth.

Fifth has only one 'ith' sound though.

What's so difficult about saying Griffith? Has everyone here had their tongue removed? Can you say fifth? Then you can say Griffith!

It's a lovely name and it's a yes from me :)

I love the names of your other boys. Sorry, I can't say 'Griffith' without feeling like I'm lisping.

Griffin is much nicer.Griffith doesn't roll off one's tongue very well. Griffin seems very Welsh to me,not that I know all that much about Wales and Welsh culture.

Thanks AuraofDora Smile

We are still considering Griffin but it's just a bit less traditional and I think people might make the mythological connection rather than the Welsh connection.

AuraofDora · 23/08/2012 20:48

was thinking Griffin would be easier myself

like your name momdeguerre!

Anonymumous · 23/08/2012 20:46

I prefer Griffin - I can't get my tongue around the 'ff' and 'th' combination. I feel like I'm lisping!
