Welsh boys names

[39Suzy]

Hi i am looking for a welsh influenced name for a boy. Both DH and i are Welsh but live in England. Our first little boy was called Evan (sadly stillborn).

So ideally want something easily pronounced and spelt. Websites and books arent throwing up much inspiration.

DH doesnt like Dylan or Rhys (booo). I like Elis but he isnt convinced. Anything else i can throw in the mix?

There were loads of suggestions on this thread but it’s getting the English to be able to pronounce them that’s problematic. DC had a Rhys in class but the parents prounounced it Reece....and we live in Wales! Evan is a lovely name for DS, so sorry for your loss

Ellis is lovely. Gethin, Morgan, Byron, Huw, Osian, Lewys, Taran?

Elis, Ioan, Rhodri,

Cai
Aeron

Owain? Deri?

Tomos.

Emrys or Bryn are my favourite Welsh boys names

Iestyn is my favourite Welsh boy's name... I have never known a horrid Iestyn

Oh wow lots of replies! Thank you 👍 Owen/ Owain is out as that is our sirname.
I like Tomas. Got a Cai in the family already.
I like Arian but Dh thinks is is girly.
Thanks for that thread above, will take a look 😊

I'm Welsh and my DD has a Welsh name. She also goes to a Welsh speaking school and these are some of the boys names in her school.

Ifan, Iestyn, Ioan, Gethin, Aled, Harri and Macsen.

My favourite is Ifan pronounced 'e-fan'.

Emlyn
Oswyn
Bryn

Selef is the welsh version of Solomon I think?

Oops sorry autocorrect Selyf

Ioan, Geraint, Bleddyn, Gareth, Martyn, Gruffydd, Dewi.

Aled is lovely

I like Ianto and Lloyd.

Whats the view on Macsen? Not run past DH yet.... not sure if it is a bit 'out there'!!!

I know a Harri and a Taliesin (Tal) who live in England but have Welsh parents.

Mansel.
Several in my family.

I love Macsen - a great historical figure although it could well get shortened to Max. I also particularly like Osian and Guto but I just love Welsh names.

My favourite is Halwyn but maybe wouldn't flow with your surname?

Rhidian, Rhodri, Ieuan, Aled, Morgan. Macsen is lovely and he could go by Max if he prefers it.

DC had a Rhys in class but the parents prounounced it Reece....and we live in Wales!

I live in Wales, and have met a few Rhys's... all pronounced Reece. How would you pronounce it, then?

Elis is lovely. Others to consider - Osian, Gwyn, Siôn, Ifan, Gethin, Guto, Arwyn, Rhys, Dylan, Huw, Gareth, Gwion, Robin, Macsen, Harri, Jac, Noa, Morgan, Iwan, Ioan, Wil, Twm, Tomos x

There are several threads on this. Look at those for many good (and not so good) suggestions.
