I'm from Ireland...can't say much about the Welsh names, but I suggest you do more research on the others. Many of your spellings and pronouciations are WAY off! Sorry no time to get into it

Have to second the "do more research" on the Irish names. I'm not Irish myself, but I've lived here (Limerick) for a while now, and while I know people with some of these names, the pronunciation's significantly different.
