Nye

[RTchoke]

I know Nye is usually an abbreviation fir Aneurin but I really don't like Aneurin while I love Nye.

What do people think?

[DilysPrice]

It looks like aneurism Blueberry.
We have established in mind numbing detail what it sounds like.

Excuse me? nobody is forcing you to read these threads.

You might be bored but I'd say it matters to the op if the odd person might make the connection, or if every single person makes it.

Thanks everyone. Quite a marmite name then. I am English, DH is Welsh (but has lived in England since he was tiny). We live in the south east and the baby will grow up here so I suspect most people he meets will only have Bevan as a guide to pronounciation.

Our surname is v Welsh too and DH wants the middle name Tiefion so maybe Nye would be pushing the Welsh theme too far for an ostensibly English child.

It's probably not the easiest welsh name for the unknowing. And though we have established its nothin like aneurism people obviously do make that connection.
Though spelling it aneirin might solve that. You would probably get an air in which isn't so bad

Ooh Aneurin Teifion is lovely! But yes vvv Welsh.
