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.

Thank you so much for these. Some really beautiful names for our boy.

Both Dh and I really like Ifan ( pronounced eefan) so that's good.

Our Ds1 is Owain and whilst we love it, and it suits him to a tee, a lot of family have struggled to pronounce it.

So I'm wondering if Ifan would cause them difficulty too. Not that it matters really, as it's important to dh and I that they have a name we love for him.

Names we like that I imagine would be easy/easier to pronounce for our family are probably Evan and Gethin. Both of these are lovely too.

Surely you don't have to choose a name based on whether your family can pronounce it? Don't you just tell them how to pronounce it or have I missed something?

Oh, call him Gethin. I know a super kind and hunky Gethin. We need more Gethins in the world.
