Idris?

[hungrycat101]

Looking for some opinions on the name Idris.

My Mum is Welsh.
My Dad is English.
My boyfriend's family are English.

We live in London. This is our first child.

We both really like the name Idris.

My worry is, will we constantly be explaining that we have a Welsh connection and needing to justify the name choice?

Or am I hormonal and panicking unnecessarily!

Thanks in advance for opinions!

I know two little boys called idris who are Asian.
I'm shocked it's Welsh as I honestly thought it was a common Asian name x
But it's lovely and the two I know are awesome little guys x

I think there must be several synaesthetes amongst the regular posters on this board. It is the only explanation for some of the comments about certain names!

My mum is welsh, I really like it but DH vetoed. I'd understand the welsh connection and I like that it is pronounced how it looks. I do think you'd get people thinking of Idris Elba but does that matter?

I'd always wondered what Idris Elba's Welsh connection was but after reading this thread in guessing his version of the name is the Arabic one (seeing as he's from Hackney).

Julian and Sebastian sound greasy to me.

Lovely name. Not Welsh but have lived there in the past.

Although unique it’s a bit harsh sound.
