Someone beaten me to it but I do love Llew. Can't get much stronger (lion). Sion (Sh-onn)

Joe is only one syllable, too, as are all the others. It's OK to say you don't like them, but don't say they're more than one syllable.

Don't like Stan.

Love Hugh and Lloyd. Haven't found any other boys names I love. Lloyd is my fave.

Nye (as in Bevan)?

DevonCiderPunk · 29/09/2013 21:42

Oh just seen you don't like Glyn.

What about Stan?

JemimaMuddledUp · 29/09/2013 21:42

Hedd
Llwyd
Rhun (probably goes against your R rule)

I just prefer one vowel to two. Still none I like as much as Lloyd. Darn husband for wavering.

Ian
I know , but the Welsh way to say it is Yan

JemimaMuddledUp · 29/09/2013 21:37

Being pedantic - Rhys actually starts with a Rh and not a R (Rh is a letter in Welsh) Also y is a vowel in Welsh. Grin

FloresCircumdati · 29/09/2013 21:37

George

(If Lloyd is a no go...)
