What's Gwion? I like Gwion Dafydd a lot. I've never been a big David (et al.) fan but after reading a few books with a Dafydd I've come to like it some.

Gwion is the original name of Taliesin in the tale of Taliesin. It's quite popular - well, for Wales :)
I like Dafydd too. It's got much better short forms than David.

Hmm, I'm surprised I haven't heard it before then. Or maybe I have and just don't remember, which is quite possible.

Nansi looks quite cute.
I like Caron.
I know a Welsh Catherine who goes by Cassie - perhaps related to Casi?

Casi is just Cassie with a Welsh spelling.:)
