Welsh name for a boy?

[Pittapatta]

I'm having a boy in January and live in Wales. I would like to pick a Welsh boys name. I was thinking off Llion. What do you think?

Pronounced Shore. Welsh for George.

I love Gethin and Idris. Bran is nice too with a long a.

My sons are Ellis Leon (his dads middle name) and Osian Ioan (we liked both names but thought that flowed better), plus I love it on him now even though it's quite common where we live, we had only just moved here when we had him so I didn't realise lol.
I like Ianto and Iolo as well and quite easy to pronounce

My BIL is called Carwyn, he lives in England and his wife pronounces it Car 🚗 win lol

@Heartofglass12345 are you based in North Wales? How many Osian's do you know? Do you mind?
I don't think I would mind a well used name but it's hard to tell before it happens!

Osian is popular in N. Wales - I know loads of different age groups.

Llion Siôr is gorgeous. I think Llion Osian and Osian Llion work, there are other names which will flow a bit better but you won't say his full name out loud that often and it's not a tongue twister.

Tomos would also work well - Llion Tomos or Osian Tomos.

Osian Llyr is good. I know too many who are Thomas/Tomos FirstName Surname to find it flowing in the middle, but I like Tomos and Thomas.

Peredur
Llewellyn
Huw

I prefer the Llywelyn spelling. Llewellyn is an anglicised version.

Pittapatta - I'm in south Wales and there are loads of (young) Osians here too.

The youngest Osian I know is in his 20s. I think it became a bit too popular with the very welsh, but that might just be based on my acquaintances.

It's a very old name, so at least it isn't just a fad.

Iolo?

Sorry I didn't see you had asked me as I'm on the app. I'm in South Wales in the Rhondda valleys and it's very common.
I'm originally from a town about 40 minutes away and no one there even knew how to pronounce it a lot less welsh speakers there than here though I think that's why. I don't mind it being common though as I love it and couldn't imagine it being anything else now! He loves his name too

I’m a secondary school teacher in North West Wales and Osian is amongst the most common of boys’ names there. That being said, I still love it. It’s a lovely name- my nephew an Osian.

*is an Osian

I love hearing speakers of other languages but can’t get my tongue around the sounds that are not familiar to the English language. We lose the ability to replicate some sounds easily when we leave infancy.
No matter how hard I try I just cannot get some words correct —- sound ok to my ear but native speakers still laugh.
So please excuse English speakers who have difficulty pronouncing Welsh names. The sounds are subtle and the ear/vocal apparatus unable to replicate without a linguistic gift and training. We aren’t all just ignorant or lazy can’t be bothered people.
I loved the Snow Spider books so Gwydion is a favourite name of mine. Given its origins, would devout Christians shun the name? Just wondering

We aren’t all just ignorant or lazy can’t be bothered people.

No, you're not. I find that some people struggle with a lot of names. From colleagues - one could not get her head round Matthias saying his name as Mat-ee-as. Annalise got called Annalisa and Anna Louise, and even Mona Lisa.

I think we naturally try to match names to sounds we're familiar with.

With unfamiliar sounds, what someone says and what someone else hears can be quite different. Someone debated with me that William was 3 syllables but I can only hear 2.

Osian is so nice
Also love Ieuan
