Out of curiosity.

Well this is my first thread, and out of curiosity I wonder what you guys think of my sons name i guess.

His full name (bar his last name) Is:

Aneirin-Glyndwr. Dylan. Lloyd.
He's almost 8 months old now, and I shorten it to the clasic nickname for Aneirin as nye.
It's taken a little while for those around me to get there tongues round the pronounciation but thats probably because I live in England. I pronounce his name as A-Nye-rin Glin-dor. Dil-lan.

I love his name alot, and will be very interested in your responses. (smile)

It's very Welsh. And unusual in England (I have never met anyone called that).

I'm not really sure what you hope to achieve by this thread, although welcome to MN

the baby names thread is notorious for honest thinking and responses regards names and very few offer up their own kids names tbh!

you're obviously confident enough to give him an unusual name and stick with it and if thats what you love, brilliant - well done you

apart from Dylan its not particularly to my taste though I'm not from Wales and appreciate why people use names from their region/countryheritage etc

I presume you wouldn't like the names I've chosen for my girls either

I love it, all of them are fab. But thought it was Aneurin (as in Bevan).

It's very Welsh. Why do you want comments - it's a done deal if he's 8 months old though, right?

MamaLazarou · 27/03/2010 21:28

Why do you care what we think?

scottishmummy · 27/03/2010 21:36

i like the names,a lot

notsochickchickchicken · 27/03/2010 21:49

I really like Glyndwr and Dylan but I would have said they were pronounced differently to the way you have said, although it is hard to convey pronunciation in text.

Not sure about Nye, it reminds me of N-Dubz too much.

There was a welsh bloke at work called Aneurin but he was known as 'Bev' because of Bevan.

Easier for folk to say apparently.

Seems a bit of a mouthful if you use all his names all the time. I assume that you are Welsh! There are some quite powerful stories behind all those names, which is good - my ds loves that his name is after someone important in English history (although dd likes being named after her great-grandmothers too).

The point of this thread was for literally just curiosity, I love how people are honest .

Aneirin-Glyndwr is my Grandfathers name, on my mothers side and Lloyd is one of my fathers name and his father and so forth. The way I spell Aneirin is after the 13th(?) centry poet, as i write poetry and there's quite a few Bards in my family line. I was born in Wales but have lived in England for a long time now. Nye or Glyn i am happy to nick name him. Also believe it or not his name is just as much of a mouthful as mine, my sisters, mums and fathers I think I've answered all the post. Thank you again.
