Is it daft to use Gwilym if we're not Welsh?

This is pretty much the only boys' name I like. My husband's worried that it's "a bit Welsh" (well...duh), although he loves Wales and has a lot of good memories from there. What do you think? Would you automatically assume a Gwilym was Welsh?

Look in the mirror. Say the following words out loud.

"Yes, pronounced Gwi-lim.
Yes, it's Welsh.
No, I'm not.
No, he isn't either.
No we just really liked the name"

Repeat twenty times and if you still love the name then go for it.
