Fun!
I've never been to Wales but I saw a T.V. program about how well they have been able to keep up their native language. That's quite an achievment in the modern, media soaked world. So, so cool.
Which brings me to Lwsi / Liwsi. Clever people that they (you?) are, how is Lwsi / Liwsi pronounced (as closely as you can in English)? Is it their version of Lucy? Is it feminine or masculine?
Osian Llyr is terrific.
Nel Grug? Is that an unusual name, even in Wales? Is Nel like Nell in English, and is it a girl's name?

It is nice to see how many kids these days speak Welsh. :)
Liwsi / Lwsi is the Welsh spelling of Lucy, and sounds pretty much exactly the same.
Nel is usually short for Elen / Elin, but I've been seeing it as a full first name quite a bit lately.
Grug is Welsh for heather; u is a short i sound in Welsh, so somewhere between 'grig' and 'greeg' with a rolled r.
