Welsh Names

We don't think a boy would want to be called a sham.

A nice beachy name, but one that would require constant explanation.

A strong, classic, simple name that has nonetheless never been overexposed.

A traditional Welsh name that looks like a variant of Arden, but actually derives from the Welsh word for "beautiful".

This surname name may offer a pronunciation challenge, to those unfamiliar with Michael Crichton novels, but its fresher than Hunter or Cooper.

Santes Ffraid is the traditional Welsh name for St Bridget, the Irish national saint and legendary miracle worker. The connection becomes clearer through the Scottish form of the name, Bride. It's worth noting that it sounds like the English word "fried".

Gwyladyss is an Old Welsh variation of the New Welsh Gladys, pronounced like the more familiar form, but modern English speakers can be forgiven for not knowing that. Gladys would be a difficult enough name for a 21st century child; with this spelling, it would be impossible.
