I would assume that in the "non-Welsh working class neighborhood" there was prejudice against the Welsh, so that any obviously Welsh name would have led to teasing or harrassment.
That would only be a factor in England, because there wouldn't be much specifically anti-Welsh prejudice in other parts of the English speaking world. :)

That's very surprising to me. Growing up in Canada, I haven't really been exposed to any 'anti-Welsh prejudice'. Most people who recognize the name as Welsh think that it's pretty.
Irish, Celtic and Welsh names are very popular in Canada right now. I'm starting to come across many 'Liams, Cillians, Siobhans and Kieras' in my Nursery School.
