Modern Welsh boy names?

33 replies

Can anyone help me out by suggesting some modern sounding Welsh boys names? Most of the lists have quite old fashioned names on them.

I loved the name Macsen (pronouned Maxson), which is actually quite an old name but sounds modern but its quite similar to our sons name. Morgan was also on the list but I'm seeing more girls pop us with this name. So far Griffin seems to be at the top of the list but I seem to be getting odd looks from family members when I suggest it! We already have a Dylan, Rhys, Ieuan, David, and Gareth in the family so can only really be considered for middle names.

Any suggestions?

Thanks x

Do you like Griffin? (I love it, BTW.)

If so, call your baby that, don't tell anyone before he is born.

After he is born, if anyone comments in a negative way, tell them not to be so bloody rude!

Ioan or Iwan? Similar to the Ieuan you are trying to avoid, but not the same.
