We love the sing-song nature of these names, many of which come from Welsh mythology. These Welsh baby names are classic, strong and unique choices that will really stand out from the crowd!
There are some Welsh baby names that have been popular for years – such as Bronwyn, Rhiannon, Gwen, Dylan, Ewan and Gareth – but more and more are coming into favour with new parents looking for something traditional or quirky for their newborn.
Unusual spelling is something you may encounter with these names, but there are variations you can choose that will be more straightforward.
Don’t forget to let us know which ones you would choose in the comments below!
