We are not in Wales but have Welsh heritage and so are thinking of names for a DS. Taliesin is the favourite so far.
If you are in Wales do you know any Taliesins? Is it a fairly popular name there or is it still quite 'out there'?
Thank you! :)

Ooh actually yes Tally-ESS-in is more accurate :)

Uncommon but lovely. If DH's parents' dog wasn't called Taliesin, I'd have it as a middle name for a future DS.

Tal to rhyme with pal :)

I was thinking Tal as a NN as well, thank you mwnci :) or Tally perhaps

From what I've heard it's like Tally Ess In (emphasis on the Ess).

I live in Wales and know one Taliesin. We call him Tal, mostly. I think
it's uncommon rather than out there. I like it a lot.

I can't help because I'm not Welsh but is live to know how the name is pronounced?
