HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Gawrsh - a girl Dillon. Does Esme happen much in the UK? Viewed from the southern hemisphere, Dillon Esme looks like a startling blend of ubertrendy unisex and slightly gender-neutral traditional; perhaps I'm overanalysing!
I somewhat know about the single and double L and D in Welsh. Are there any other consonants where doubling changes the sound? I've noticed Annest and Anest - are they the same, and do they sound the same? Is there an Agnes connection? (Ooh, and there's a Gwennan with a double-N! Could it have just the one?)

That's the first female Dillon/Dylan I've seen in the UK. It is an odd combo! Esme was #67 on the last chart, but I've never come across any personally, of any age.
Double ns make no difference to the sound and seem to be arbitrary. Gwennan/Gwenan, Annwen/Anwen crop up regularly. Annesta, Annest, Anest and Nest are all forms of Agnes.
