Welsh Names for Your Children: The Complete Guide by Meic Stephens
Welsh Names for your Children is the most comprehensive guide ever compiled comprising over 2,000 Welsh first names. The names are arranged according to the English alphabet and, in many instances, an explanation of the name's constituent parts and a brief word about illustrious bearers of the name are also provided. For those not familiar with the Welsh language the book also has a section on pronunciation. The outstanding recent success of Welsh actors and musicians such as Cerys Matthews (Catatonia), Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill) and Ioan Gruffudd (Titanic & Hornblower) has brought the variety and distinctiveness of Welsh to millions throughout the world and an added pride to the Welsh people at a time of growing national self-confidence.
