Re: Welsh BAs

I was slightly surprised by Purdey, especially as the dad's surname is so very French that I'd think it unlikely he watched those New Avengers reruns. Guess the ghost dog must be to blame. :)
I'm not editing the English names out - there just don't seem to be many, probably because these come from a Welsh-language paper produced in a particularly Welsh part of Wales, where most young people have Welsh names and they're really popular. I think there have been a few Jacs in previous batches, though.
Dewi is usually male and Betsan is definitely female - not sure what's going on there. Llyr is not that common, but I seem to see it about fairly often, and 240 of them were born in Wales between 1984 and 2004.
