Welsh boy names!

In keeping with the Welsh baby theme and loving Baby Welsh girl names that have been given, I'm expecting DS2 in 3 weeks.
Both husband and me are Welsh but now live in England but I would like to give DS at least a partly Welsh name.

I dislike Rhys and Owen and we have these in our family anyway. Dylan doesn't go with our surname and an old boyfriend was Gruffydd. I like Llewellyn but it's quite long name and we have a double barrelled surname.

I'm really open to suggestions though and hopefully there are Welsh boy names that are at least as beautiful as the girls that have been suggested!

Thanks everybody so far. What Seren's you all are!
Thank you so much ConstanceFelicity. What a lovely group of names.
I really like twm as a middle name is it the Welsh version of Tom, and why is it familar? was there a book you had to read in Primary school or a programme on S4C with that name in?!

Yes, Twm is diminutive of Tomos but is quite trendy in an old fashioned way, often used as a first name these days. Loads of Twms in Welsh kids' books!
