Owain Eryri is really cool. Interesting that Hedd is used as a middle name for boys, given its meaning.

I wish my middle name was Eryri.:D
Hedd is always a boy's name, afaik. It's not common but I've met one or two.

I like Cara and Theo
I know a toddler Tomos and like its pronunciation. His sister is Beca Elen
Emyr is a grand name, and it looks great in that combo.
Not directly related to your post, but one very rare Welsh name seems to be Aeres - I wonder whether you have come across it. (The Aeres I know is from Camarthen)
I'm not really fond of Martha although since it was my great-grandmother's name I wish I could like it. A Welsh friend's elderly mother is called Martha ("Mattie" or perhaps "Matti").
Somewhat off-topic, I have noticed that in South Pembrokeshire ("Little England Beyond Wales"), the following names persisted over the generations among all families:
Ann
Elizabeth
Frances
Letitia
Martha
Phoebe
Nothing inherently Welsh among them, of course!

I just looked up births for Aeres, as I've never seen it before as a name, and there were quite a few of them - mostly after 1900, almost every single one in Carmarthenshire. (I've just been on holiday round there! Strange coincidence.) It means 'heiress'. Interesting! I would imagine an awful lot of people think her name is Iris, it sounds so similar.
Every single one of those English names is in my own family, too, & I'm from North Wales :)
