Never thought I would post here, but brain is melting with name sites... fire WELSH names at me please!

We currently have Bronwyn and Emrys.

As much as DS is pleading I am not planning to call the new one Baby Gus (he did actually sob over that today ).

Please list oodles of welsh names of both genders. I will offer many thanks but can't see me being polite enough to comment on every single name (but bonus points for honesty yes???)

I have looked on too many sites now and the names are all merging into one - feel like this way I can just show DH a thread of names and it will be simpler

I have a Meredith Carys...

RustyBear · 09/06/2009 21:04

Cadfael?

edam · 09/06/2009 21:02

I thought Merlin was Merddin and Emrys meant wizard or similar. (There's an engine called Merddin Emrys on the Ffestiniog Railway - my Dad always told me it meant 'Merlin the wizard' in English. Don't tell me my engine-driving Welsh father was fibbing!)

differentID · 09/06/2009 20:56

Ianto is a great boys name!

llareggub · 09/06/2009 20:55

DS1's middle name is Iestyn and DS2 is Taliesin.

I have a fondness for Alys, Anwen and Nia.

SuperBunny · 09/06/2009 20:54

I wasn't thinking and thought that Bronwyn and Emrys were on the list not names of existing DC. FWIW, I didn't say Bronwyn is wrong. I will keep my mouth shut now!
