Bethan

[namaste86]

I already have a little boy with a Welsh name. We are hoping to try for another baby soon so naturally thinking about names, and would like another Welsh one.

What are the general thoughts of Bethan? Is it dated? How many do you know under 10?

Thanks

Nice enough name but a middle-aged Welsh speaker's name.

I really like this name! So much so, it’s now on my list for the contender for my lil girl! Thank you!

I love it. I like the fact it's Welsh but you won't find it mispronounced in England as so many Welsh names are. Like Beth too.

I have a Bethan and live in North England so do get people mistakenly calling her Bethany or tending to pronounce Bethun. She's 13 now and the only one we know. She tends to be called Beth now. When she was little holidays back home in Wales we're always exciting for her because she could get personalised key rings and fridge magnets with her name on....

Weird! I'm Welsh and knew a Bethan growing up - I always thought it was supposed to be pronounced Bethun, and not Beth-an?

It's definitely Beth-an not Beth-un.

You would not be able to get a Bethun welsh pronunciation
