I really really like it. I have to say that when I first read your message and I initially thought it was with the stress on the first syllable, I was in love. I don't like the really pronunciation quite so much but it is a great name.

But I've had the night to sleep it over and the real pronunciaiton is settling in nicely in my brain.
Thanks for the authentic Welsh expertise. It really helps.
