Stuck for boys names..

[Wonderstuff]

I love Asher, but dh hates it.
Want something strong, unusual enough that there won't be 2 other boys with the same name in his year group, but not so weird as to cause bullying or people to assume it's made up. I have Welsh ancestery so could do Welsh, but English friendly Welsh iykwim. Quite like Rhodri, but again dh has vetoed, he doesn't like the idea of Rod, which does place me in mind of Emu tbh. DH has some Scottish ancestery, so again a possibility.
DH seems OK with Danny, Griff and Dylan, all of which I like, but not sure I love any of them..

Rhys?

I teach a Reece that is a real pita. I'm driving dh mad, every suggestion he has I'm 'oh no x is a nightmare child'..

Huw
Gareth
Evan
Bryn
Ellis
Madoc
Morgan
Ianto
Iestyn
Aled
Alun
Gavin
Geraint
Cedric
Ow en
Cadoc
Steffan
Tomos
Tristan
Wynn

Already have an Evan, a Gareth, a Tomos and a Hugh in the family.. Ellis is nice..

Derives from Elus meaning kind, benevolent Bet dh hates it.

Gethin is my favourite Welsh boys name - can't use it as we have a good friend with the name and it would feel a bit weird.... he gets shortened to Geth.

Emrys?

I really don't like the sound of 'Gethin' it sounds like 'get in'...!

If you like Ellis but your dh hates it, have you tried him with Elliot?

As for Scottish/Welsh names, what about Fraiser? I'm not keen personally but it meets your geographical criteria and has a similar sound to others you say you like...
I was at school with a Scottish boy called Quinn which I always thought was very unique and quite nice.
Finally, a friend with Scottish/Welsh roots has recently had a baby called Murdock. A bit off the wall IMO but strangely appealing.

Good luck!

I like Emrys as well.

Elian, Henri, Iolo.

Aneurin?

Nowhere near Stroud and actually I have met a lovely Kyle, Alice, Jay and Katie - as for Callum only taught a couple, but obviously would never make assumptions of a child based on their name

Rory is nice

FWIW, I like Asher

What about:

Asa
Haydn (pronounced Hay den - Welsh)
Howard
Victor (Vic)
Mackenzie (Mack)

I love Foster, we have a friends DS called Foster and we're having a girl so it's a no go for us but I think it's lovely. And the little lad is so great too

Ivo
Saul
Sol
Seth
Inigo (well Inigo Jones was Welsh wasn't he?)
Josiah
Silas
Django

My current favourite boys' names.

Rhodri is a brilliant name.

SOH thank-you - there had been a name I liked that I couldn't remember (if that makes any sense) was Inigo - DH obviously hates it, but I can sleep soundly.

Bryce?

Patrick
Kier
Aneurin - shortened to Nye

Oooo I like Kier. Seth?

In the boy's classes Welsh anmes seem in vogue forv girls only (excepting Lewis and Morgan, which are quite generic these days i think)

DS3's middle names are Jarvis and Griffith (fortuitous as we had never considered moving to Wales when he was born LOl, it reflects the Welsh branch on my family- oh OK and my teenage love of jarvis Cocker - wqell when you've done dutiful naming X 3 why not have a giggle?).

Also love Aneurin and Kier; CAdoc os good but is the local psych hospital, Cedric and ianto nice names.

Had we had another child we may have considered Isca (name of a Roman settlement in Wales) but luckily for said named child that's not going to happen!.

DS2 is Stirling, whcih is Celtic if not Welsh (though reflects DH's love of racing rather than any ancestral duty).
