Just a few this week:
Indeg Elin (parents Sharon and Barry, sister Lili Haf)
Rhun Llewelyn (parents Delyth and Selwyn, sister Cari)
Annest Elena (parents Anthea and Gerallt)
Nel Madrun (parents Nia and Iolo, brother Efan Arthur)

What does Indeg mean?

No idea, sorry! It's quite an unusual name. She's apparently an obscure character in some early Welsh legends - one of King Arthur's mistresses.

Lili Haf
Annest

Iolo (adore this!)

Wales sounds awesome. I want to live there.

Woohoo Llewelyn and Haf! I have a strange relationship with Haf. I think it's awesome, but I don't like the sound of it, but sometimes I do like the sound of it. It's very confusing! Cool to see Rhun too... makes me think of the character in the Chronicles of Prydain.

Haf is a really common middle name, mostly because it's short with a nice meaning, but also because it's unisex (I should add that to its comments, really). The only two people I ever met with Haf as a first name were both male.

I agree, it does sound a bit more masculine.
