Griffith

[Momdeguerre]

A nod to my Welsh father and a sibling to Charles and Wilfred - Charlie, Wilf and Griff.

What do you think?

I like it

I prefer Griffin - I can't get my tongue around the 'ff' and 'th' combination. I feel like I'm lisping!

was thinking Griffin would be easier myself

like your name momdeguerre!

Like it

i prefer Griffin, not keen on the "th" sound..

Thanks AuraofDora

We are still considering Griffin but it's just a bit less traditional and I think people might make the mythological connection rather than the Welsh connection.

Griffin is much nicer.Griffith doesn't roll off one's tongue very well. Griffin seems very Welsh to me,not that I know all that much about Wales and Welsh culture.

I like it

I love the names of your other boys. Sorry, I can't say 'Griffith' without feeling like I'm lisping.

What's so difficult about saying Griffith? Has everyone here had their tongue removed? Can you say fifth? Then you can say Griffith!

It's a lovely name and it's a yes from me :)

Fifth has only one 'ith' sound though.

Okay...

Gri-fifth.

Hth.

That's still two 'if' sounds.

It's the 'if ith'. Totally different to saying 'fifth'.

Not keen on the th on the end.

Griffin is lovely (as are Charles and Wilfred)

Griff was on our shortlist for boys, and if we put a longer version on the BC it would have been Griffin.

Sadly, I can now.not use it due to dds name but LOVE Griff.

And 2 ifs trouble you why?

In actual fact there is one "if" and one "ith". Different sounds. Try saying them out loud and listen for the difference.

ham

Griff-ith
Gri-fifth

They're both easy and sound the same.

Fasterhigher that is exactly what 'troubles' me. Maybe it's because 'Griffiths' is a fairly popular surname, so 'Griffith' sounds like someone is trying to say 'Griffiths', but with a speech impediment. Not that I'm knocking speech impediments

Nooo
Griffin is better.

I love Griffith, and I can't see that it's difficult to pronounce. Griffin isn't a Welsh name!

And anyway since you'd be using Griff as a nname then you have a dead easy one syllable name for everyday

I'd go for Gruffydd too
