I’ve been trawling through some regional Welsh newspapers looking for birth announcements simply because Welsh names make me happy. There is an interesting mix. Half the announcements were written in English and half in Welsh (I did my best to translate these as best I could with my English-Welsh dictionary lol)
I’ll include the parents (p) and sibling (s) names as well for fun

To hear audios of how these names should be pronounced go to:
Any others you want to know about let me know.
Quite a few of the names are Welsh spellings of “English” names i.e [name]Hana[/name], [name]Tomos[/name], [name]Jac[/name], [name]Huw[/name] ([name]Hannah[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Hugh[/name]).
P.S. I showed my mum these as she is half Welsh and she saw [name]Kaci[/name]-[name]Leigh[/name] and went “Cacky?!! Who would call a baby Cacky?” Lol. It took me a while to convince her it was “[name]Casey[/name]” giggle
It’s very fun.
