Wales

I’m from Wales, and we have a lot of English names (I’m called Peter), but here are a few Welsh names:

Catrin, Efa, Eirwen, Eleri, Lleucu, Lowri, Mair, Sian, Sioned, Valmai

Alun, Caradog, Dafydd, Dewi, Eifion, Geraint, Hefin, Huw, Ieuan, Iorwerth, Iwan, Owain, Pedr, Rhys, Rhodri, Sion

'si' is said like the English 'sh', 'u' is prounced like the 'i' in 'in', 'f' is pronounced 'v', and 'LL' is not pronounced like a single L but I don’t know any way to describe it,* also 'DD' is pronounced like the English 'th'.”

*Try this: Put your tongue in position as though you were going to make an "L" sound, but blow out instead. (From http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/welsh_language/61915)
