Would like something with a bit of a witchy vibe, would love something Welsh, Scottish, or Irish

@Mwydryn , I wanted to suggest Gwion but thought 'How would i explain how to say it?' It's like wee-on but with a G on the front! Myrddin is great too.

Pwyll, Urien, Efnisien

Gwern and Bleddyn are both terrific.

Edited

I didn't say Gwyddno for the same reason!

Myrddin and Gwydion tie in with your witchy vibe, as does Gwion- a lovely name imo.

Rhun for a Welsh name, or Iolo.
I also like Odin , which although not Celtic carries the witchy vibe you like.

Torin - I believe it is Irish and means 'chief'

Bleddyn (wolf)
Arawn (king of the underworld, from the Mabinogion)
Taran (lightening)
Mabon (god of youth)
Tristan (Tristan & Isolde)

All these are Welsh
