We’re expecting our first on NYE and still aren’t 100% on a boys name. Our favourite at the minute is Emrys, possibly with Alasdair as a middle name.
Wdyt?

Merlin to me too 😁

Love it, and I think it’s fine outside Wales.

Merlin! :) love it, brilliant name and not hard to pronounce

@Moreteaandchocolate , They are completely different names with no connection other than they both end in ys.
Emrys is currently popular in Wales.

Go for it, it’s a fabulous name and we would have used it if my brother hadn’t already!

I’m not fussed on the middle name but that’s less important. Just check what the initials spell with your surname

I know a Welsh Emrys - it’s not my favourite Welsh boys name tbh. I love Rhys though, which is a possible short version.

Sorry no. It may be a real name, but no-one will pronounce it correctly - unless you're Welsh, and living in Wales.

Then again if you are Welsh, and living in Wales, you wouldn't be asking if it's OK.
