This isn't for a baby, but for a curiosity.

For me:

Boy - Emrys

Girl - Bronwyn

Ioan is pronounced Yo-an

It's good because you can say "YO, Yo" and be that person Grin

Indeed. Pasted from google

"Idris (name) Idris is a given name, usually masculine, and a surname. Idris is a Welsh name meaning "ardent lord", from udd (lord, prince) + ris (ardent, enthusiastic, impulsive). ... It is also the name (Arabic: إدريس‎‎) of Idristhe Islamic prophet mentioned in the Qur'an, usually identified with Enoch in the Bible"

I'm from North Wales. It's a well used name there.

My favourite girls names in the world are Elin and Carys

For boys I like Emrys (my nephew's middle name) and Idris (the first, of many, mountains I ever climbed was Cadair Idris).

Emrys comes a very close second though op.
