Hi,

I'm having a baby boy in a couple of weeks and we are completely stuck regarding names. We are Welsh so are open to both English and Welsh names.

We already have a Sadie which we loved because it's not overly popular here but it's not too out there! It also really suits her.

Some of our ideas include-
Gruff
Oakley
Austin
Asher

But we aren't excited about any of them! And he'll be here in a couple of weeks! Thanks

Rhodri is fabulous, I also like Evan and Gethin. I think Gruff is awful and Oakley isn't really a name is it?

Austin is nice and I only know one do from your list I would go with that, it goes nicely with Sadie too.

Talliesin. Pleeease. Tal for short.

Asher is lovely

Don't really like Gruff but Griff/ Griffin is nice.

Really dislike Austin, but not keen on surnames as first names generally.

Theo is ok, not v exciting. I also think Jude goes well with Sadie.

If you like Asher, what about Amos (my face vetoed name!) or Ezra?

Fave I mean

"If it's not listed on the website that lists basically every name in existence, I'd argue that it's not exactly a "well-known" name."

I've met three Gruffs and I've never even lived in Wales so yes it's pretty well-known! I don't think failing to find a name on a website means you should confidently assume that name doesn't exist

I'm not even Welsh and I've come across the name many times.

Love Gruff/Griff. How about Griffin for a longer version which might be easier for non-Welsh people to handle?

I like Jude and Theo too. How about Travis, Huxley, Ioan, Jago, Torin, Rafe, Ellis, Stanley?

Thanks for all your replies. Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I've been in hospital.

I have taken all your suggestions on board and I'm starting to panic a bit now because I'm being induced in just over a week!

I'm a bit sad at being told some of the names on my list are 'ridiculously awful' though Sad. Probably due to my hormones though! Thanks all
