Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
I know it's not Welsh, but I love Anthea and am surprised it's not more popular for babies.
Angharad is beautiful.
Never seen Ffiona before - much prefer FfionIncidentally, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but please settle an argument, Pie - should Bethan as a Welsh name be pronounced more like Beth Anne or like Bethany minus the y? Thanks!

I really like Anthea too, & think Ffiona is a bit of an abomination.
Re Bethan, it's like Bethany minus the y - & no pronunciation questions about foreign names are stupid ever. Always so much better than people not caring enough to ask.:) My favourite of this lot was Iddon - first time sighting. I think he was a Dark Ages king, but I can see it possibly getting some use now, as it's pronounced just like Ethan.

Thanks, Pie. I thought it was like Bethany minus the y, in view of the pronunciation of Megan. But when I was told it rhymes with Beth Anne I became confused.
Iddon is very distinctive but I see what you mean about Ethan (not a favourite of mine).
