Re: Emrys or Madoc
in reply to a message by Kat
I'm not a fan of Madoc. I can't come up with a reason because I like other names being with Ma- and ending in -doc, but I think my problem with Madoc is most likely that all throughout my childhood, my doctor was Dr. Maddox and I strictly associate all similar names with this man and needless to say my experiences with him were not all pleasant. Since you do not have this unpleasant association, I see no reason why you shouldn't like the name. I don't see anything "wrong" with the name.
However, the name Emrys is one I have adored for quite some time. I love the sound; I love the meaning. I am quite taken with Welsh names in general, but this one is toward the top of my list. The meaning is fantastic and the look is enchanting without seeming like it came from The Lord of the Rings or a video game character. I certainly prefer this one to Madoc.
