What are some nice Welsh boy and girl names?



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
[girl] Bethan (beth ann) .. means consecrated to God

[girl] Ariana (are-ee-ana or are-ee-ona) .. means like silver

[girl] Brynn (brin) .. means mount {many Welsh names begin with the word 'Bryn'}

[boy] Caden (Kay-din) .. means spirit of battle (I like it, but you might have a fighter on your hands if he is true to the meaning of his name :o) so be careful!!)

[girl] Carys (kar-iss) means love

[boy] Dylan (dill-in) means son of the sea

[boy] Evan (ev-in) means the Lord is Gracious
