I'm starting to write a story set in rural Wales, perhaps around 1940, and I'm having trouble coming up with names for the main characters. Any opinions on what I have so far will be appreciated as will any suggestions.

---

So far I'm thinking of using either:

---

Father - William Thomas.
Mother - Dorothy (nee Wynn) Thomas.
Son - Rhys Thomas.
Son - Robert Thomas.
Son - William Thomas.
Daughter - Elizabeth Thomas.
Daughter - Gaynor Thomas (Not too sure about this one).
Daughter - Lucy Thomas.
Son - Llyr Thomas.

---

Or:

---

Father: Iestyn Lloyd.
Mother: Betty (nee Llyr) Lloyd.
Daughter - Nerys Lloyd.
Daughter - Catrin Lloyd.
Son - Alun Lloyd.
Daughter - Nia Lloyd.
Son - Gareth Lloyd (Twin with Sion).
Son - Sion Lloyd (Twin with Gareth).
Son - Iolo Lloyd.
Daughter - Bethan Lloyd.

---

But I also like Gareth, Dewi and Iestyn Lloyd as siblings and Bryn Lloyd for their father.

---

Emlyn and Geraint as a sibset I love too. Would Idris and Elinor Llewelyn fit for their parents?

---

Sorry it's so long but I really can't decide between the "family sets". Any help on which you prefer will really be much appreciated. Thanks!
