Help-5 days to go - looking for a Welsh Boys name!

Help, running out of time and need to find a Welsh Boy's name. I am welsh, live in England and DH (English) wants to give DS2 a welsh name like his brother. Have looked through so many lists and books but many names will not be pronounable in England due to the language barrier. Can anybody suggest phonetic welsh boys names?

So annoying that have no problems with girls names - Ffion Lowri but it ain't going to happen!

My Welsh friend called her son Taliesin, Tal for short.

I am Welsh and some boys names in my family include:

Emrys
Gwyn
David
Owen
Glyn
Tomos

My friend's dad is called Tudor which I think is really cool.

Aneurin shortened to Nye is lovely and not over used here in Wales.
There are lots of Dylan's Tomos', Cai's and Harri's here.

Gwilym.

My entirely imaginary third child would be called that (DH and DCs have uber-Welsh surname).

Gil or Will for short.

Owen is a good compromise - Welsh name but English spelling. Ditto Hugh rather than Huw.

Gethin after the gorgeous Gethin on Strictly Come Dancing?! Dafydd although might be tainted by Little Britain now!!

Rhydian used to be one of my favourite names- but can't be used now for a while without people saying- "oh like that one with the weird hair from x-factor"!!!

hadn't thought of Rhys- lovely!!
