Relatively anglicised welsh boys names?

I'm 33w pregnant with DC2 and need to start thinking about names. Don't know sex but have a decent girls list - it's boys I'm stuck on.

I'm Welsh, DH is English, we live in England.

I'd like a Welsh name for DC2 but I think for DH to not veto it, it needs to be quite anglicised. Other than Rhys, Gavin, Idris and Gareth (which all a no for me thanks to family/boys I was at school with!) I'm coming up blank.

More than one syllable preferred. I LOVE Rhodri but suspect it'll get a no.

If all else fails I'm having Wyn as a middle name!!

I don't know why but I have a feeling David has been a popular Welsh name. No clue why I think this so probably totally wrong 🤔

If I'd had a boy I liked Morgan, Osian, or Macsen.

Ah some good ones here already. I'd go for Dewi but a million Dave/Davids in all branches of the family!

My husband pronounced Osian as Ocean so that puts me off but Macsen is great and can shorten to Max
I like Aron as well

Ellis/Elis (I know two little ones called Ellis). Harri?

I love Rhodri. Or Rhydian (that's probebly "even more Welsh" then Rhodri though).

I love Dylan, but it's got a different feel in England than in Wales

Pattygonia · 30/06/2022 21:40

Geraint, Hywel, Llewelyn, Huw,

Aneurin, Nye for short.

I know a Wiliam/Wil who is from Wales, however I think he is always having to correct the spelling as English people write it with the double L.
Gwilym may be not anglicised enough for your DH? I also used to know an Emlyn from a Welsh family living in England
