Hello,
I am expecting a baby, due in November. My husband and I are looking
for a Celtic boy's name, in particular Welsh or Britton. We have
thought of YANN already, but would like other ideas.
(By the way, my mother tongue is French, my husband's is Dutch,
and the baby's family name will be ROBBENS).
For a girl, we have thought of 2 names already (not Celtic) : Sylvie
and Aline.

Hello,
Here is the proud mum sending you the latest news.
Our son was born on 3 December, and we named him Yann.
As far as the second name is concerned, we followed the Belgian
tradition, which is that a child gets not only a second, but also a
third name. Moreover, those names are not chosen because they sound
good, or for any arbitrary reason : they are the names of the child's
godfather and godmother.
So, our son's names are :
first : Yann (that one we chose freely)
second : Jacques (which is the French masculine for Jacqueline, the
godmother's name)
third : Kris (the godfather's name)
Actually, those 3 names are no legal obligation. The child might as
well have only ONE name (no middle name at all), or only a first name
and a middle name, or even more than 3 names altogether (one of my
cousins has 6 !).
A bit more about Yann : at birth, he weighed 4,070 Kg and measured 52
cm.
It seems that the name Yann is known in many languages, at least
orally, as the spellings may differ according to the language (for
example JAN in Dutch).

>>Huw is the welsh version of Hugh
And more acurately spelled, I may add!
Amusing that we pronounce this name as the welsh, and spell it as
the French ("Hugue" whose pronounciation is difficult to spell out,
but it must be noted that the "G" is not silent).
