I'm Welsh, I'd pronounce the Welsh ones roughly like this:
Arthfael = ARTH vile
Bedivere = BED ee veer (this isn't Welsh, that's how it's generally pronounced in English afaik.)
Cadeyrn = CAD airn
Caradoc / Caradog - ca ra doc /dog
Ceridwen = keh RID wen
Taliesin = tally ESS in
Peredur = peh RED ear
Elisedd = ELLIE seth
Cynwrig = cun oo rig
Gwrtheyrn - goor thairn

---

The only one of those I've seen in use on actual Welsh people is Taliesin, which I like a lot. The others are not really my cup of tea.

I live in the U.S., but my parents are from the U.K / Ireland. So I grew up immersed in BBC Anglophilia. This is how I've always heard the following names. But I don't pretend to be an expert. Take with grain of salt:

---

Bedivere is "BED-ih-veer"

---

Caradoc / Caradog is "cahr-A-duk" or "cuh-RA-duk"

---

Caractacus (with a Latin "-us" ending) is "cah-RAK-tih-kus" or "cuh-RAK-tih-kus"

---

Ceridwen is "kehr-ID-wen"

---

Peredur is "PEHR-ih-dur"

---

I hope that helps. :-)
