Welsh boys names.

We are after a Welsh boys name. I have gone though my life with a surname that nobody can spell or pronouce, it really gets on my wick. We live in London and my family are English, but my partner is Welsh. I would happily use a beautiful Welsh name but want a name that can be spelt and pronounced by us English! Can you help?

Gethin is lovely - surely people couldnt pronounce that incorrectly
Morgan - can be pronounced two ways, Morgan as you would expect in English. Also a friend of ds is Morrrrrrrgan with an hard a - It sounds like a different name altogether!

Macsen is a Welsh Max

There is a Bleddyn in dd's class which confuses nonwelsh speakers utterly

Just reread your post and see you want one that can be easily pronounced ... guess that gets rid of most of my ideas.

My dad is welsh and his name is Lyndon which I think is nice and unusual too.

Bryn (or Brynn) is one of my favourites - not much problem with pronunciation. Gareth is a good one that has crossed over into English
