It gave me ‘Sioned ap Idwal’, sounds far more interesting than my real name! :grinning:

Maelgwn ap Ednyfed Fawr,

or with “Michael” instead of “Mike”:

Maredudd ap Ednyfed Fawr.

Think I prefer the latter.

That’s “Syr Maredudd”, mind… :imp:

I realize this is an old topic, but it is kind of fun, so I’m reviving it anyway. The name the generator gave me was pretty lame (in my opinion) but I already have a Welsh (warrior) name (an alternative in the Society for Creative Anachronism). It is Sionned ferch Cynan ap Owain.

(And before anyone asks - yes, I realize Sionned is not spelled “correctly” - but that’s the way I’ve had it since before I actually started learing the language.)

I wouldn’t say that was necessarily wrong! Though Welsh has always been basically phonetically spelled, the rules have changed over the years and the doubling of consonants was often more common in the past. Here’s a couple of Sionned’s spelled with two 'n’s from poems by Tudur Aled and Ieuan Tew.

Mmm… Gwenfrywi ap Caradog? Shouldn’t that be ‘ferch Caradog’?
Oh, I was Gwellian the first time I tried, but I forgot the last bit, so tried again! Only found this thread today!

Mine’s Myfanwy Glodrydd. I’ve always LOVED the name Myfanwy, but I’m not sure about “Glodrydd.” Anyone have any idea what that might mean or refer to?

Credit as in praise, Free as in not needing to pay… I’d guess “deserving praise”! Clearly the perfect name for you!!
