We currently have Bronwyn and Emrys.

As much as DS is pleading I am not planning to call the new one Baby Gus (he did actually sob over that today ).

Please list oodles of welsh names of both genders. I will offer many thanks but can't see me being polite enough to comment on every single name (but bonus points for honesty yes???)

I have looked on too many sites now and the names are all merging into one - feel like this way I can just show DH a thread of names and it will be simpler

But Bronwen is traditionally spelt with an e rather than a second y.
