Thinking of names for DC2.
Here are some that I like, any suggestions would be gratefully received!

We have Scottish, Welsh and - a generation further back - Irish heritage. Also English so I'd be up for an old-English name perhaps too.

Inigo
Taliesin
Osian
Aneurin
Idris

Arianwen
Mhairi
Ceridwen

(We'll use something more well-known for a middle name, perhaps Thomas, Marianne.)

Please, no people telling me I shouldn't choose names which the English struggle with, you'll get my standard death-of-Celtic-culture-in-action rant!! Wink

TIA :)

Boys

Malachy
Evan
Haydn
Asa

I like Idris and Aneurin too

I don't like the girls ones so much, partly because of the spellings

WHat about Arwen (too LOTR?)

I speack as someone who has to spell her own name all the time
