I like all of those; Morwenna is a favourite (in my top three) and I do love Morgan (or Morcant) on a boy. Others:

Aneurin
Aeronwen & Aeronwy
Eirlys
Eirwyn (masculine form of Eirwen)
Heilyn
Celyn and/or Cefin
Gwyn (b)
Gwyneira
Gwenhwyfar (Welsh prototype of Guinevere)
Gwythyr or Gwydir
Gwytheyrn (Welsh version of Vortigern)
Llinos
Lleucu
Llewellyn
Myfanwy (my own name)

Your name is Myfanwy?! Too cool. I love that name, but I'm too scared that none of my fellow Americans will be able to pronounce it correctly. *eyeroll*

I love Gwyneira as well. A lot of Welsh names are beautiful to me, but I would hesitate to use them because of people's pronunciation problems.
