I love them all!
I swear, nobody names better than the Welsh...and what I love about them is that they still use the names specific to their language and culture, not modern crap being used internationally.

Wow! I dont think we've had many Welsh BA's before, it's nice to see! I like / love*:
Lleu *(Gethin)- How is Lleu prononounced?
Huw (brother Ynyr)- How on Earth do you pronounce Ynyr?!
(parents Gwion andd Nicola)
Cai (Dafydd*)
Eneas Daniel*
Cian ( Gwen, brother Elis*)- Gwen only as a nn for a longer name like Gwyneth / Gwendolen etc. Elis is cool!

Lol, Lleu is a tricky one outside Wales. The Welsh ll is a single letter for which there's no equivalent in English. Basically, you put your tongue against your teeth as if you're going to make an 'l' sound, but instead just blow out around the sides of your tongue. Then the eu part is pronounced like 'eye'.
Ynyr is much easier! - UN-eer.

I think I love Welsh names
They make no sense to me and they are all freaking adorable. And yet handsome/beautiful on grown up Welsh people. I wish I was Welsh. I could probably fake it I suppose.
Really digging Lleu, Huw, Nedw, Bernhard, Ynyr, Gwern, Gwion, and Dafydd (possibly the only version of David I don't hate with a passion).

I should have pointed out that Bernhard was actually Viennese - but it's a cool name anyway. As for faking Welsh, you could perhaps try saying Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2thdZ4OFQrE) a couple of times while wearing a Tom Jones wig. That would fool me!
