I think I'd say that "al-or", sort of like the French "alors".

I though it was a boy's name. Not keen sorry.

I’ve lived in wales for 14 years and never heard of it. I wouldn’t know how to pronounce it either, although I’m usually ok with welsh names

It just makes me think of Alan sorry

No. Spend a life time describing how it's spelt and pronounced.

No and I'm Welsh.

Haven't heard this before, I think it's pretty. Will be forever pronounced incorrectly by English people though.

AH low rhyming with now.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 24/12/2017 15:16

How is it pronounced?

EssentialHummus · 24/12/2017 15:13

I’m not a fan.

AfunaMbatata · 24/12/2017 15:12

Not a fan of it, isn’t awful though.

I have a cousin with a little girl with this name. They do live in Wales. I think it would be very unusual outside of Wales. I do like it.
