Thoughts on Taliesin?

DH has proposed this as a middle name for DS. I'm on the fence as our surname gets a lot of 'how do you spell that?' and is often mispronounced.

DS' first name is in the top 100 (as of 2020) although I've never met someone with his name but it is quite easily spelt and pronounced.

Unfortunately I misread it and thought it said taliban.

Beautiful. I have taught a few Taliesins and they’ve all been gorgeous.

Why does DH like it?

Sure, it's a strong Welsh name :) Good choice, especially as a middle name.

My first thought was Critical Role. I like it.
