Favourite Welsh name?

[user1489577919]

This isn't for a baby, but for a curiosity.

For me:

Boy - Emrys

Girl - Bronwyn

For a boy I like Gryff(udd) and Macsen.
For a girl Mabli and Carys

Arianwen and Taliesin

sound

I just met a little Taliesen last week. I think it's lovely. I hadn't heard of it before.

I've always loved Llinos for a girl but would worry about pronunciation...even fellow Welshies sometimes mispronounce and to anyone not Welsh it invariably turns out 'Lin-oss'.

Rockaby Was the little Taliesin in Wales? I was keen on it for DS but we're in England and I just thought pronunciation issues would annoy me too much! (DD is Arianwen, and it's often met with extreme panic, despite being fairly straightforward (I think!) and us being in an area with lots of non-English names).

It was in West Wales sound. We aren't Welsh though and managed it ok.

I know several women names Llinos and they complain that English people pronounce it Clean-Oss

Bronwen for a girl and Wyn for a boy.

I know it's not Welsh, but I have met a lot of Welsh Sharons and love the name.

We have a Taliesin and live in England. It's been fine. He's usually Tal or Tali day to day though.

Emrys - we have this as ds middle name

Susan

• Siwan not Susan

Pencilvester that's why I'd never choose a Welsh name, I'm useless with pronouncing and spelling them. Now I know, I actually prefer Bronwen to Bronwyn

Oh sorry, not coming up as OP anymore because I changed names to be more identifiable
