Wow! They're really interesting. Grug - is that pron. greeg? - sounds strange to non-Welsh ears, and I assumed Pwyll was a form of Paul until I scrolled down (one syllable or two, pronunciation-wise?).
I love Angharad. Elen is pretty but I prefer Elin or Elinor.

Yup, Grug is greeg. Pwyll is POO-iɬ (ɬ being the Welsh ll). It is interesting how many unusual names are cropping up in Wales these days - it's all getting very Mabinogion. Pwyll's parents had even de-anglicised his surname, so he was going by ap Huw.

Thanks. That really is interesting - something seemingly little known to the wider world.
