[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Esyllt Gwenllian looks romantic.
Two questions:
1. Any idea what Meleri means? I've also heard of Teleri and, of course, Eleri. These names sound melodious. I like Eleri best, though. Meleri, when I attempt it, is a bit like malaria.
2. Is Ifan a regional version of Iwan? (Intrigued by the slight difference between father and son).

Meleri and Teleri are apparently both variants of Eleri. I have no idea if Ifan and Iwan are regional variants, but don't think so, as I've seen both in North and South Wales. Iwan's more common, though.

Thanks! I'd stick to Eleri, definitely.
