Emrys (boys Welsh name: immortal)

[FirstTim3Mummy]

Original name given to Merlin. Myrddin Emrys

Thoughts?

My favourite so far. Being Welsh myself wanting a Welsh first name that's easy for English to pronounce as now live in England

I love it. Also Emlyn.

Would be hard for the kid in England!

Love it.
Know a few but are older gentleman. A good classic name. Also like Emyr but could be corrupted to sound like Emma in England.

Lovely name and works well in England because so many anglophone people are familiar with Rhys either as a first name or a surname that it gives them something to cling onto.

I like it a lot.

Love it. Mary Stewart fan?

Lovely name

I like it.

Lovely!

I had a friend called emrys in school and he was so nice. Lovely name.

Gorgeous name and easy to pronounce I think. My favourite Welsh boys name.

I knew a wonderful head teacher called Emrys. It’s a lovely name and not at all difficult for English people to pronounce as it’s exactly as it’s spelled.

I think it's a good name.

Great name. Can't see a problem in England

Love it!!

Absolutely love this name! If I had any Welsh heritage I would definitely call a son Emrys. It's a great name imo

Great name 👍🏼

Like it along with Emlyn.

Love it. Always have since childhood reading the crystal crave also love Emlyn sadly DH has vetoed both

It's fine. OP is Welsh and it won't cause any pronunciation issues.
He will get called Em.

How is it pronounced?

So nothing to do with the character Emhyr var Emreis (translated apparently as 'The White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies') from the Witcher books then.

is disappointed

EM-riss.
It's the welsh form of Ambrose.

Well I love Merlin, we even went to visit the castle in Pierrefonds France
where it was filmed and it was one of the highlights of my life

So I love it (but was not allowed use it) it's a good name, best of luck x
