And how would you pronounce it?What are some nice Welsh boy and girl names?
I am from Wales, these are some of my personal favorites. (FYI, the letter Y is predominantly masculine in the Welsh language, there are very few, correctly spelled feminine Welsh names that contain the letter Y)
Girls :
Gwendolen (Gwen-dahl-en)
Elowen -- (el-oh-wen)
Carys -- (car-iss)
Cerys -- (care-iss)
Briallen -- (bree-ahl-en)
Eira -- (eye-ra/ay-ra)
Aelwen -- (ILE-wen)
Boys :
Aldryd -- (al-drid)
Alwyn -- (al-win)
Bedwyr -- (bed-oo-eer)
Gwenlyn -- (gwen-linn)
Llywelyn -- (lee-well-in)
Good luck
