Oh, lord ... don't call the poor thing Myfanwy. She'll either end up Muhvvy or Fanny.

One of my god-daughters is Elinor Haf (Haf meaning summer - born in August) and it's quite common to have a name than refers to the month or season in which you were born, or similar. i.e. Haf/summer, Medi/September, Mai/May, Eira/snow (all girls) - Gwenhwyfer means 'smile of June' and is also "Guinevere" (or however that's spelt). Come to think of it, boys' second names tend to be more geographical - named after their home areas, or rivers, like Dyfed, Ceiriog, Arfon,etc.

I quite like Bryn or Emyr for boys. Best not saddle them with anything other nationalities might find difficult to pronounce, like Llew.
