Welsh Names for Children/Enwau Cymraeg i Blant

I found this book very useful. I am not Welsh, but my partner is, and we are currently living in Wales, so we have a big list of names to choose from.

This book is an excellent list of names and their (sometimes dubious)entymologies. It has a good list of all the name I knew from school and a few others as well. Who would actually call their child Atgas - meaning hateful?Very useful and well presented, but showing its age now. An update would be welcomed. Diolch Mr Gruffudd.

Gwych, diolch yn fawr

Excellent

This is a sweet little book of welsh names. It is pocket-sized. Very helpful for those tricky name-choosing debates. The only disappointment is that there aren't really that many names to choose from compared to general name books. In all fairness that is probably because there aren't that many names that could be included rather than any lack of expertise from the author. The positive side of it is that you don't get swamped with options in the same way as larger compendiums.

Llyfr da, llawer o enwau oeddwn heb glywed orblaen. Neis cael gweld beth oedd ystyr yr enwau.

A no-frills, economical, little gem of a paper-back for anyone wishing to give their baby a Welsh name. Its packed with the most beautiful Welsh names that I remember so well from my childhood. The only problem? Which name to choose!
