[Mammina]

Mostyn (NN Moss)
Gruffydd (NN Griff)
Cerion

possible middle names are

Lewis
Lefi (pron Levvy)
Iolo (yollo)

Osian Lefi lovely lovely lovely

Suwoo no, a bit further down the road in Caernarfon, but have family around Llandudno

Dysgu I've never heard of Cynfelin...?
Is Mostyn market the place where they sell material?

I've always liked Dewi, myself. The trouble with the others is the traditional spelling. Unless he spends most of his life in Wales it will be an absolute burden no matter how much you might want to keep it real!

I am on the Isle of Wight now. Used to live in Wrexham and originally from Ponterwyd (Aberystwyth).

One of my mum's brothers was Cynfelin. Other is Dewi.

I also like Evan.

I fave two daughters - and they have Italian names (DP's heritage).

Still like Gruffydd. Or Llewelyn? Merionydd? Rhys?

You are thinking of the Abakhan Migola, which is 5 minutes away from Mostyn/Greenfield market.

OMG Abakhan yes, brings back memories of trips with my nan!
Dysgu, Llewelyn too difficult I think, as is Meirionydd, & I can't use Rhys.

Llewelyn is more 'known' though, due to old Lawrence. No bugger can ever say it though can they. You'd get Thew-elin or similar attempts.

Exactly, I just think of Richard Bryars... Arthur Thooelin Jenkins or whatever it was!

Now Evan is lovely. Not too common, (in either respect!)not boring, not hard to pronounce or spell, not too fashionable or 'of the moment' just a good solid, timeless, ageless, classless, but slightly unusual name, and still very Welsh. Perfect.

I agree with you tiggy but I can't use it as it's my nephew's name!

Shame!

My DS is Glyn, DH is Welsh, I am English. I think it's a solid, no-nonsense name which is easy to pronounce in England and also for our Spanish and Belgian relatives.
Always loved Iestyn but don't think it is as easily pronounced.
