I like Osian Lefi.
How do you pronounce Cerion?
I also like Ianto - not sure of the spelling, but the one from 'Torchwood'.

Everyone is called Osian these days (and I am Welsh.)
Gruffydd is nice but ubiquitous also.
Mostyn and Cerion are pretty cool.
Dewis da.

You have picked such lovely names - I really like Osian

and middle name I really like Lewis and Lefi, I like Iolo as well but it doesn't seem to 'ring' with Osian.

Ultimately it's up to you - with any of these names your baby will be very well named

How are you pronouncing Osian?

Is your surname Welsh?

Gruffydd gets my vote.

I also am a fan of Ieuan but have two DDs.

I would think any of Osian, Mostyn & Griff would be fairly easy to say. Not so much Cerion but I'm not 100% convinced on that one anyway so think I will narrow it down to those 3

Which one do you think would get pronounced correctly most often? That has to be a big consideration.

I've been toying with Griff recently, but this week I'm mostly liking Scottish names

I like Osian Lewis best
