Help[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Oooh, Welsh names! I haven't heard of some of these before. I think I like Tirion Ilan and his brother Gwydion Ifan the most. I've heard Gwydion before but Tirion as a name is completely new to me. Is it used frequently? I can't find much but other websites (of dubious reliability) tell me it's a typically female name.
I also like Sioned and I can't believe I missed that one in the database. It's so much lovelier than Janet.

Tirion's unisex, and it's not very common. I've only ever met two - a boy who's probably about 20 now and a middle-aged lady. I've always quite liked it.

I like it too. I would use it as a male name; it looks more masculine than feminine to me.
Now that I think of it, I think Tolkien used Tirion as one of his city names. I doesn't really surprise me, though, as he liked the Welsh language quite a bit.
