Help[Opinions] WDYT of Iestyn?
Apparently Iestyn is the Welsh equivalent of Justin. I first heard of Iestyn when I read How Green Was My Valley.
I love this name but I'm afraid it looks made-up and fussy, a bit like all the modern "kreatyve" names.
WDYT? Combos?

You could spell it Yestin. That at least looks less trendy. I like it.

I really like Iestyn, but I prefer Yestin; the Cornish version (which looks even more made-up I guess)

Yeah, my initial thought was "is that even a real name?"
I suppose it's okay, but I wouldn't use it. It's better than Justin, though, which, btw, is absolutely horrible. People should use Justinian instead.

I don't like the sound of it. I don't like Justin at all, and I don't usually like "Y" sounds at the beginning of names (and "yes" at the beginning is kind of odd).
That is sometimes a problem with Welsh names that most people would be unfamiliar with-- they end up looking like a "kreatyve" name.
