I like Mair too. (I've also got a tiny crush on Mari.)
Not totally sure about Gwenfair. -fair in placenames is usually a mutated form of Mair, so I'm guessing it's possibly a Mary-homage and means blessed Mary, or something similar
No idea what Caskie is! an nn, but not a Welsh one.
Gwyndaf was an early saint.I love Gwyndaf, it's so...beardy. With a woolly hat!

Interesting about Gwenfair. I assumed Caskie wasn't Welsh, but who knows sometimes. I hope it's not short for Casket! :X
You had me at beardy with a woolly hat. I will have to ponder Gwyndaf for awhile now! And I always love me some obscure saint names.
