I find it fascinating that people named Amanda and John have gone megaWelsh when naming their children. Is there a revival, what with Welsh now being - I think - taught in schools etc?And does Mali Grug inhabit a pink or a blue blanket?

There is definitely a revival. It's more prevalent in North Wales (several of my cousins have very Welsh-named children), but names like Seren and Ffion were top 20 last year across the country. Welsh has only been compulsory in schools since 1999, but fully Welsh-language schools have been around since the 1900s (possibly earlier?) and around 20% of kids attend them.
Mali Grug would be Molly Heather in English. She's probably got a nice Welsh tapestry blanket.:)
