This name thing is getting ridiculous. Can anyone suggest any nice WELSH names?

[bohemianbint]

Baby due next month and we're still no further on than we were 8 months ago. Am getting very stressed that this poor child could be nameless for weeks!

My name is Scandinavian as is DS1's but our surname is Welsh. Having not got very far with agreeing on more Scandinavian names, (maybe Magnus for a boy, but I'm less sure than DH) I'm wondering if we should go for something Welsh. (DS's middle name is Welsh and we're debating moving there so thought it might be a plan.)

We are considering Arianwen for a girl. (Well, I am, DH not so much. We just can't agree this time at all!)

Any suggestions? Please?!

My great Gran was a Gwenllian (which I wouldn't wish on a new born, but I thought I'd throw it into the pot)

My father was Idwal

Eira is - AY-Rah but there's an emphasis on the R, like a rolling.

Sorry if half of these have already been said:

cariad (means "love")
delyth
gwenllian
gwenno/gwennan/gwennon
manon
heledd
caryl/carys/cerys
llinos
glynwe n
angharad
nerys
lowri
anwen
eirian
fflur
ffion
catrin
bronwen/branwen
rhianwen
rhiannon
lois
nia
elin/elen
eleri
sioned
cerian
leah
nia
sian
eirlys
mari
haf
mai
alaw
meinir
siwan
iola/iona
seren

I know an Eirlys, it means snowdrop.

Hatrick - I feel exactly the same. I love Aneurin and the shorter Nye, am seriously considering it if I have a baby boy.

Nye is on our list for DS2 (currently 4 days late!)

James - cheers for the fab list, will get DH to cast an eye over it and see if we can agree on anything.

Sorry for the constant "how do you pronounce that" questions, but Aneurin? Not come across that before, someone tell me!

An-EYE-rin

OH I might be wrong, I always get it wrong. maybe more uh-nahy-ruh ?

Ah, the chap that started the NHS, he was Aneurin...

We considered Aneurin, good link to Nye Bevan also.

I also LOVE Huw for a boy, but couldn't use it as one in the family.

For a girl we thought about either:

Delyth

Dilys (my favourite, LOVE this for a little girl)

or Gwynth

In the end we just used welsh middle names Huw for DS1 and Glynne for DS2. Both have family links.

Don't go for Seren. The only one I know is a contrary, stubborn little mare.

None of those were too 'bizarrely' WElsh for others IYSWIM.

Welsh, but don't make people go 'What??'

I think there are lots of lovely Welsh girls names - Ffion I think is a bit overused, but what about Eleri, Eilir, of course Seren as suggested before . . .
For boys, Owain is lovely and perfectly understandable outside Wales, also Macsen, and plenty more.

My dds have welsh middle names.

We have a Carys and an Anwen, and I wish now that they were their first names.

We have a Huw, an Angharad, 2 Davids and a Gareth in the family also.
