AuntPittypat · 29/09/2013 21:20

The only two I can think of are Rhys or Drew.

Needs to be strong sounding. Can't begin with an R. Sorry to be pedantic, but needs one vowel, and Bryn has none!

Quite a few of these are shortened versions of full/other names, so not clear whether you'd consider more, eg:
Don
Doug
Mike
Dave
Dai
Jim
Rob
Matt
Luke
Bryn
Tim
Neil
Kit
Chris
Joe
Abe
Frank
(yes, I know some of these have 2 vowels but they're still monosyllabic - and so has Pete)

None so far, but I am very fussy.

DH changed his mind on Lloyd, and close friends have used the name Hugh.

Guy?

OP - As I said, Pete on your list has 2 vowels. 'y' acts as a vowel in Bryn, so it does meet the brief. Don't get picky with us!

Hehe. One syllabl, as in only e's. you have a point on Bryn. I don't like Bryn, Gwyn, Glyn, Wynn names

PotteringAlong · 29/09/2013 21:35

Just out of curiosity - what's wrong with more than one vowel?!

Doilooklikeatourist · 29/09/2013 21:35

Wyn
Sorry , cross post

FloresCircumdati · 29/09/2013 21:37

George

(If Lloyd is a no go...)

JemimaMuddledUp · 29/09/2013 21:37

Being pedantic - Rhys actually starts with a Rh and not a R (Rh is a letter in Welsh) Also y is a vowel in Welsh. Grin

Doilooklikeatourist · 29/09/2013 21:37

Ian
I know , but the Welsh way to say it is Yan

I just prefer one vowel to two. Still none I like as much as Lloyd. Darn husband for wavering.
