I like Alys much better than Alice - is it pronounced the same?
I think the Welsh BBC TV personality Sara Edwards has a daughter called Alys. I've liked that spelling ever since I read of Alys Pearsall Smith, but am intrigued by the way it might be pronounced in Welsh.
I love Rebeca's mum's name, Miriam.
PS Why is a girl called Wyn? (I like it too). Shouldn't it be Wen? (Just interested!)
