Welsh boy's names

[SellyMevs]

Hi all,

We are expecting a boy and looking for some inspiration for some nice boy's names.

We have a Welsh surname, and I have a Welsh first name. I'm from Wales but live in England, and my husband is born and bred English, so I need a name that he can master with spelling and pronunciation!

I quite like Arwyn, Emrys and Rees (grandfather's name and spelling).

Any ideas would be great!

Cezella wow- what a list.

I would love to know what is the proper way to pronounce Caradog and Caradoc.

As it's written, stress on the middle syllable. Stress in Welsh is always on the penultimate syllable.

My son is in a Welsh speaking school, off the top of my head these are some names in the school -
Rhydian
Dewi
Gethin
Ifan
Sion
Ioan
Iago
Mostyn

I love Rhydian.

My second favourite is Gryffudd.

I wish I'd have been brave enough to go for these names. In retrospect I really don't know why I felt that I needed bravery to choose them!

Maybe that's because I'm much more Welsh now than I was 8 1/2 years ago!!

Yndw tad mejon - byw yng Nghanol y Gogledd!

Robin probably isn't a Welsh name per se but I know a lot of Welsh Robins!

Yeah the stress in Welsh is usually but not always on the penultimate syllable.

It's a beautiful language, so poetic- will happily teach a few of you if you fancy it!

I have an Idris!

If DC 2 turns out to be a boy he will be called Geraint.

Cezella and Celtic - thank you!

I have an Evan

I also really like

Hadyn
Aneurin (Nye)

Lovely Welsh names suggested on here . I think they are great for boys. Interesting yet strong

BTW

I am English

Evan is familiar to people. We've had the odd "Heaven" - North London so people are either thinking about it as an arty name or an African name. But mostly it's spelled correctly

SkivingAgain I have a Rhidian Lloyd!

Ifan
Caleb
Gwydion
Cai
Gruffydd
Gwern
Aled
Steffan

Aneurin - I love this name so much. Currently thinking of devious ways to get DH to agree to it for DC3 if it's a boy.

I love Aneurin but prefer the older spelling, Aneirin. Not least because my flipping culturally ignorant phone doesn't correct the latter to aneurism .
