Llio Grug is outstanding. What is Grug from?? I also really love Leusa Rhianedd.

Grug's the Welsh word for heather. I think its use as a first name is pretty recent. I like it! - such a great sound, like a little bird call or something.
Leusa is pronounced Lye-sa. No idea where that one is from at all - a variation on Lisa maybe.

Mari Bethan is soooo cute!Caio looks too close to Ciao. Kind of funny.Okay, I can never keep strait which way "ei" is in different areas of Wales. Like I know in one part Eira would be IE-ra and in another it would be AY-ra or something? Just curious because of Eiry. Eiry Mair would be funny if both names had long I sounds.

I'm not 100% sure about elsewhere, but in North Wales ei is a long i sound. So it is like ie-ry my-er, and I think that's too much i for me, too. I like both of them separately, though.

Grug is pronounced 'Greeg'.
Caio is a form of Cai, so yup, he's a boy. :)
