Emlyn?

DH has Welsh origins, and Emlyn was his grandfather's name, but does it sound a bit girly?

Also, if we like Arthur, and maybe Emlyn (Arthur Emlyn?), what else might we like?

Very stuck for boys names.

It doesn't sound girly at all, Emlyn Hughes was a legend!

MissYamabuki · 27/01/2014 19:43

Love it, sounds v manly to me!

AuntieStella · 27/01/2014 19:44

I'd think of Emlym Hughes too. Definitely not girly!

I like it!

I think Emlyn Arthur sounds better than Arthur Emlyn in terms of first/middle combinations.

Love Arthur v much

Emlyn is a fab name proper manly, I love Welsh names they are the best.

Well that's encouraging, thank you.

I hadn't heard of Emlyn Hughes Blush but have now googled him and agree, he doesn't seem particularly girly Grin

How about Emrys?

I love it! It's going on my list for hypothetical sibling names!
Thanks OP!
And congrats on your impending arrival!

My younger brother's name is Emlyn We all loved calling him Gremlin when we were kids Grin

I thought it was a modern take on Evelyn but I am obviously an ignorant English person!

Emlys Hughes was such a smiley, friendly looking man, and not girlie at all.
