Boys names are hard

[ancienthouse]

I can't think of any that I like!

Would like something not top twenty, but not too unusual so a name that people will likely have heard of.
No biblical names.
Like the sound of Welsh and Scandinavian origin names.

Any ideas?

Lewis
Dylan
Rhys
Otto
Jago (Cornish)

Hywel
Aneurin
Gwilym
Ianto
Morgan
Peris (though it's one letter away from penis)
Nils

Why would it be odd?
I'm sure all the people choosing Ezra and Reuben for their children aren't Jewish. Names come from all over the place.

Biblical names are a bit different though aren't they, due to the fact that Christianity is widespread. Sometimes non-Biblical names from other cultures become common too, of course.
But I am Welsh and I'd find it weird and random to meet a little boy with a Welsh or Swedish name with no connection to those places. He'll be subjected to a lifetime of people asking him what's his connection to that place. And YOU may not care about that, but you're not the one who has to deal with it in the long term.
FWIW this is the reason I can't bring myself to give my children English names. I'm respectful of English language and culture but I can't casually take it on as my own, that's disrespectful.

@OctopusBreath Another example - Theo is a Greek name, and it's currently top 10 in England. Most "English" names aren't English in origin at all. They were taken from other cultures at some point.
A lot of actual old English names are things like Ethelred.

I have a Welsh grandparent - is that enough for you to approve me using a Welsh name? It shouldn't really matter.

I hate it when people police names.

I agree with what @OctopusBreath said.
Biblical names are different because of Christianity being so widespread. Theo is greek in origin, but has a christian meaning.

You can use any name you like, but why give your son a Welsh name because he had one welsh great-grandparent? There is still some discrimination against the welsh, and many people struggle with the pronunciation and spelling.

Whether you like it or not, but people do judge names.

I'm glad you like Idris. It is a family name for me.

Fwiw, I think a grandparent is enough of a link, particularly for names that come from a different part of the UK.

Sorry, that last sentence was a bit garbled. It should have been: Whether you like it or not, some people do judge names.

Think about it, what do you think about names like Gary, Wendy, Jaspinder, Lesley, Mercy, Wayne, Abhishek, Latifa, Gordon ...? Would you not make some idea of their age and ethnicity?

Whether you hate the policing of names or not, it's not you that is going to have to live with it. There's an extra layer of complexity when you choose a name that is from a culture and language historically supressed by your own.
