Welsh boys names please!

[BibiTwo]

Our poor child, if a ds, will be without a name if you don't help us! Okay, so I am not due for another 7+ months but we'd like a Welsh boys name and any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Our surname has lots of "L"s and "O"s in it if that helps.

I have a ds called Owen. It's a lovely name

My ds is called Rogan, welsh for red haired one, tho his hair is dark brown. Sorry just realised it's Irish, not welsh, i must go to bed, my head is getting to fuzzy to think now. It's still a nice name tho, isin't it?

Thanks, loads to be getting on with. I have various cousins covering about 50% of those names though, so that's why we're stuck. My absolute favourite is Iolo but with Holloway it sounds quite ridiculous!!!

Emrys

Hi Bibi, can't think of anything not already suggested, but just to let you know that Osian seems to be mega popular at the moment. I had never heard the name before but have encountered several baby/toddler boys recently with that name.
If I am remembering your DDs name correctly, I guess you might want to avoid Dylan or you'll be copying Catherine Zeta Jones!

Lol - Iolo Holloway might be a bit cruel. Like when my dad suggested calling me Alison harrison!

My favourites are:
Bryn (as in Terfel - means 'hill' though which is a bit of a nothing meaning for a name)
Evan (Ifan)
Gruff(ydd)
Owain
Lloyd
Dewi (although I'd have to put Dafydd on the birth certificate...)

Ds's name is in that list, as is the name of any future brother he may have!

Vaughan (Little one)

Isn't Alun Welsh? I like that one.

TG- Vaughan is my maiden name....

How about Kyan

Yup Alun's welsh

It's quite spooky going through the lists, I either know the names from cousins, uncles, ex boyfriends or old men who drank in the working means club I used to work in .

Gruffydd is my absolute favourite ever, but dh says I could pick any other name in the world and he'd prefer it to that.

Cerys, you're right about dd and Dylan! Wouldn't want to copy the CZJ, even though I really like it, it's erally, really popular at the moment.

how do u pronouce gruffydd??????? i am thinking gruffy d d ? help!

Gwynfor is a great one to shout up the stairs!

Quite like

Gwyn
Bryn
Rhys
Osian
Tomos
Ewan/Iwan

loulabelle222, dd in welsh is a TH sound like in "the" I think.

I really like Rhydian. It was on my shortlist, means ford I think...

gruffy dee dee !
lol loula!

'Griffith' (soft 'f' and 'th' pronounced like in the word 'the')

Sorry,I'm going bonkers. 'dd' at end pronounced as 'th' in 'the'

Arfon is another nice one!

Call him GWYN please! I was always going to have a little boy called Gwyn, since I was a teenager, but then I married an Irish Australian and my three boys all have Irish names instead! So spiritually speaking, there is a Gwyn floating around somewhere with no little boy to belong to.

here are a few, bryn,
angwyn.
arthfael
brynmor
brychan
cadwallader
cadwallen
cadfan
cadoc
cairn
meredydd
idris
ionwen
gwyn
gareth
garod.

i know this is an old thread but how is emyr said? is it em - ear?

I went to school with two Gethins, quite like the name myself.

Love Geraint and Owain as well - they're on the middle name shortlist
