Why would you name you son Aron and your daughter Erin?
That will never stop to be confusing.

Math - is the th like that or like thistle; voiced or unvoiced, in other words?Watching SA play Wales yesterday, I noticed that the th in Gethin Jenkins's name was being unvoiced by the commentators. How does this compare with the Welsh dd?My Welsh ancestors had left for England in, I think, the late 18th century, but I still feel I'd like to know!

I'd say Math like thistle, or like Beth - ditto Gethin.
Corroboration: http://www.forvo.com/word/gethin/#cy
dd is usually more like 'that':

http://www.forvo.com/word/mawddach/#cyI have no idea how much pronunciation has changed since the 18th century, but probably not a lot :)

Mabli is interesting.
I like Cadi as well, but maybe more as a nickname. Some of the parents/grandparents has some pretty great names as well: Elan, Eluned, Nesta, Trystan, Elis, Dylan..Any idea how Lleucu is pronounced?
