William is a little dull and may get teased with Willy!

I'm not too familiar with Welsh names but like the look of Rhodri

sproutsandparsnips · 13/06/2018 17:26

Rhodri definitely
Also like Elis
What about Gethin?

Flamingosnbears · 13/06/2018 15:51

William or Rhodri

TatianaLarina · 13/06/2018 15:24

Rhodri

I like Ioan and Osian.

@sunshine99789 - it is! I have one!

Rhydian and Rhodri are fine if a bit boring but I don't like them pronounced Ridd-yun or Rodry. Rhodri might be a PITA if you can't say Rh and R. (Wodwy)
Cai - quite nice but Kai isn't.
Elis - lovely but popular.
Harri is a good welsh name but so many Harrys.
William - You could make it more welsh by spelling it Wiliam, but the welsh form of William, Gwilym is currently gaining popularity.

My vote would be Gwilym, then Elis, then Harri, then William.

Star, it's not a random 'i' for no reason that's how Harry is spelt in Welsh!

StarUtopia · 13/06/2018 13:35

William

Or Harry with a Y..please don't do a random i for no reason..

Personally, I like Trefor for a Welsh boy's name. Quite unusually and very cute :)

spiderlight · 13/06/2018 13:32

Rhydian or Rhodri.

Stringofpearls · 13/06/2018 13:20

Agree that William is a little dull, although I know several that I'm not too keen on so that probably affects my judgement. I like Rhodri or Rhydian best.

Octopeppa · 13/06/2018 13:16

William, then Elis or Cai.

DramaAlpaca · 13/06/2018 12:10

As you are in Wales, Rhodri.
