Welsh Place Names

Place names as first names are cropping up all over, with schools filled with kids named London, Asia, Paris, Boston, Dallas, Dakota and the like. Here are some place names in Wales that might make good first names. We're not suggesting you name your babies Mold, Mumbles, or Splott, but if you can picture yourself calling "Glyndyfrdwy, time for dinner!" or "Ystradgynlais, have you finished your homework?" then perhaps this page is for you!

For information on how to pronounce Welsh place names, we have some pages listed here.
