A few Welsh BAs

Cadi* (parents Sian and Gwilym, brothers Ben and Tomos)
Cadi-Elain (parents Dylan and Ffion, brother Cai Emrys)
Emyr Gwilym (parents Huw and Ela)
Dafydd Llywelyn (parents Rhian and Alwyn)

* The nicknames-as-first-names trend is definitely rising in Wales. Cadi (pronounced like caddy) is a form of Catrin, so I guess it's pretty much the Welsh equivalent of Katie. I prefer Catrin, personally.

Dafydd Llywelyn is definitely my favorite.

eee

awww Cadi-Elain kills me dead! Katie-Elaine would make me keel over in an adorable-attack as well. I seem to have a weakness for uncommon double-names.
