Welsh boys name

[Monkey44]

Our beautiful Ds2 was born this week and is yet to have a name. We live in Wales and really want to give him a Welsh name, esp as our Ds1 has a Welsh name.

Names I like are Gethin, Harri, Ioan, Emrys but would appreciate any ideas.

I also like Idris, but Dh not keen on this.

I like Emrys and Emlyn and Iolo and Iori is great ( Ioan nice too from your list ) . We just had a little Idris 5 weeks ago. It was going to be his middle name until a few days before , but as we are also in Wales ( and welsh ) I thought it would be lovely to use it. It is still quite unusual where we are and also easy for our non- welsh speaking relatives to pronounce . People have said its a 'solid' name and so far have had lots of nice things said about it . Good luck whatever you decide :) Pob Lwc!

Great site for names as has all the meanings, popularity, etc.... If you're interested I love Dylan as it means wave and we live by the sea.... Look for something that means something to you!

Gruffydd (Gruff)
Ifor
Idris
Tomos

Iestyn

That's my list for DS2 due next week, we still can't make up our minds.

Iago, Llewelyn, Steffan, Sion, Osian, Aneurin, Ianto, Macsen, Gruffudd, Ifan. I really like Ioan from your list!

Really like Emrys. But my favourite boy's name ever is Taliesin. Also love Osian, Aneurin and Rhodri, and quite like Huw.

Love Welsh names

Aneurin (Nye)

I also like Huw too!

Congratulations on your new arrival OP!

I have a Gethin and love it. So much so we can't think of another boy's name we like nearly as much. It is great as it is definitely Welsh but the pronunciation isn't too much of a problem living in England.

I do like Idris but like you DH is not as keen. I like Iolo, Ianto and Geraint. I also like Tomos, Harri and Huw and they would work a bit easier with my English family. I do like Gruffudd but not sure it works with Gethin.

Can you tell I've given this a bit of thought? Not even pregnant, just had a mc, but very much planning the next one soon.

Iago
Ianto ( Ian / Yan for short )
Emlyn
Siencyn
Llewelyn

Byron

I have a Griffin

Congrats! Welsh names for boys popular where I live are Cai, Sion, Dion, Gruffydd, Meilir, Ioan, Trystan, Guto, Osian, Owain. I could go on but those I my faves!

Gwion as well!

I love Llewellyn but most non Welsh people cannot pronounce a double l properly . And Gruffudd can be a bit of a challenge too . Both Princes of Wales . My father's name was Owen. Had we ever had a DS....

Gethin
Iestyn
Llyr
Ieuan
Emyr
Iwan
Owain
Emrys
Eryl
Glyn
Rhys

Geraint, for the great cyclist riding the Tour de France this last 3 weeks.

Sorry, great cyclist Geraint Thomas.

We have a Iestyn. Still love the name and havent met many. Other names we considered were Steffan, Ioan, Mostyn and Idris. Congratulations.

I love Edwyn

Carwyn

How about Gwilym?

I love Carwyn!

Tudor, which is welsh for Theodore, which means gift of God. Other / Welsh spelling (as of the Tudors) variously given as Tudur or Tewdwr or Twdyr, we stuck with the more English variant for my son's middle name.
