Hey! I hope everyone's having lovely weekends all over the world. I thought it would be fun to talk about everybody's favourite Welsh names. I find the naming tradition very interesting. The language itself seems so different from any other extant language. There's something so romantic about Welsh names.My favourites are:Aderyn
Anwen
Bronwen
Eirlys
ElowenRhys
RoderickI have to say I have trouble getting on board with the 'wyn' ending for boys. What do you think?Rate my PNL: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/131386Thanks!

I also like Branwen, Olwen and Arianwen ("beautiful silver").

Tomos-wyn seems perfectly masculine to me, but I can see how it doesn't to some.

I love Anwen, Carys and Ffion best for girls. I think a lot of Welsh names are gorgeous, especially for girls. I'm not so keen on Welsh boy names but I do like Rhys.
