How is Dilys perceived in Wales?

[SleepyCatOnTheMat]

Middle class, working class, old lady, young person, neither here nor there? Have always liked the name Dilys.

No Welsh people on here tonight?

Old lady.

Or Dilys Price from Fireman Sam.

Sorry!

Well, I'm English, of Welsh stock if that helps ?

All Dilys's I know are older ladies. By looking at the names given to children over the last few years though, that probably means it's about due for a revival. I do think it's a pretty name.

Old lady name,not in the vintage way say, Pearl, is thought of either,more like Ethel.

Old lady!

Old lady in a headscarf who runs the corner shop

Who's that Hollywood type who's called their daughter Bryn?

Bryn is Dilys's husband

Welsh speaker here and Dilys is an old lady name but given the trend for old fashioned names I don't think that's the end of the world.

Old lady and not in a cool way.

Another welshie here and a 100% no to the name Dilys! I really can't imagine a baby with that name!

Another Welsh speaker - definitely old lady and not in a good way. I think Olwen is another one.

Old lady deffo

That hideous brat in Fireman Sam's mother. Although it is actually quite a pretty name. But then I am not welsh and do not live in Wales...

Old lady.

More gertrude and agatha than Pearl and Ivy

Old lady, but I think it is lovely - very delicate and pretty sounding.

Due a comeback I think

I really love it!

Cerys is also very pretty without any of the old lady connotations.

Dilys is definitely a woman with curlers, a headscarf (and probably a fag). But then so was Lily until a little while ago and that has enjoyed a resurgence. Be a trendsetter.
