Enida
Mabli
Tesni
Glesni

Boys
Malwyn
Cerwyn
Delwyn
Enlli
Maben

cedwyn

I live in Wales and I haven't heard of a lot of them. I would choose Mabli or Tesni, I know a little boy called Mabon, which is nice.

thanks user, those three names are beautiful

Gorgeous mostly. Glesni was what I wanted for DD.

I would go for Enlli just to enjoy English people trying to pronounce it

Cerwyn and Ebrill are both lovely imo.

If we’re doing classic welsh names, my favourites are aneurin/Nye/Nai and Meyric.

Girls
Adlais - Echo? Really?
Marlyn - not a welsh girl's name
Cerilys- not a welsh girl's name
Nerys - like
Ebrill - not a welsh girl's name, just the word for April
Elora- not a welsh girl's name
Enida- not a welsh girl's name, Enid is.
Mabli - fine
Tesni - fine
Glesni - fine

Boys
Malwyn - WTF
Cerwyn - fine, but dated
Delwyn - fine, but dated
Enlli - girl's name
Maben - Mabon
Mabyn - Mabon
Morwyn - WTF
Merfyn - fine
Emlyn - fine
cedwyn - fine

You are either taking the p**s or you don't speak Welsh

Fucking hell, mike, why the nastiness?

Some of those name suggestions are awful. Not just not names, but are actual words with meanings.

I love Mabli and Emlyn!

So you want them to spend their entire life explaining how to spell their name every time they need any sort of paperwork doing ... every time ...

Nerys, Enida and Cedwyn.
Enid is great too.

Do you live in Wales? If not, there will be pronunciation issues.

Not if they live in Wales

I'm not keen on the boys options but I do really like Mabli for a girl.

@Tempjob, apologies if I seem nasty.

It looks like you might have picked up those names from an online list of welsh names. The lists are not reliable, and some of them have girl's names listed for boys, ridiculous suggestions and so on.

If you are not familiar with Welsh pronunciation, C and c are always said as K. Ch is a letter in it's own right and sounds like the ch in loch.

-wyn and -wen names are dated, but Cerwyn (Kerrwyn, kerr like in kerry) and Cedwyn (Kedwin) are quite nice.

Mike is right, half of those are total nonsense

Like if someone came up with a list that went

Aloce
Licy
Finluy
Jimes

Etc.

Thanks Yoni.

My DC are called Gwenwyn (White, blessed) and Aflan (Welsh for Avalon).

I would go Mabli for a girl and Mabon for a boy

DC3 is going to be called Ffiaidd (Welsh for Bluebell)

Those are lovely Mike!

They are aren't they. Everyone says so.

Oh bugger, I've outed myself.

Olwyn for a middle name for DC3 Mike?

I think Olwyn Ffiaidd runs more smoothly and it's more unisex.

I think maybe a DC3 might be a bad idea.
