OMG, a Welsh name? I tried to learn Welsh when I was a bit younger, you know it is completely unpronounceable unless you are a native speaker?

dd is pronounced like a hard th (like the beginning of 'than')
w is pronounced ew (as in 'sewer')
ll has no corresponding sound in English whatsoever, it's a sort of gutteral noise as if you were about to hawk up a load of phlegm.

I would steer clear of unusual Welsh names unless you want your child to go through utter hell and curse you for the rest of your days. I have an unusual surname and get utterly sick of having to spell it for everyone.

One I like which is easy enough is 'Dai' - the Welsh form of David, and pronounced like 'dye'.
