Gwlithyn and Margaret

I really like the idea of using Gwlithyn as a middle name if we have a girl (my other grandma died before I was born so don't really have an emotional connection to her) but as we don't live in Wales I worry that it'll just be a pain in the arse for them/us.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/03/2016 11:32

Margaret and Margaret. There hasn't been much imagination in naming girls on either side of the family!

MissCalamity · 25/03/2016 18:12
