Anyone want to try Welsh names?
I certainly don't, Steve. 
However, I'm intrigued to know how pronounce the place that Kath mentioned above i.e. Rhosneigr.

I hope you never take a job with your local Tourist Information Centre, John.  The names come from poetic descriptions, or legends about gods and ancestors. Which category does dog shit come into? Asking for me.  |

I'd didn't think that you'd invented them! It just occurred to me that your... <ahem>... presentation might need a little work. |

Welsh is pretty simple phonetically, as far as I am aware it's Roz-nigh-ger, though not sure where, if anywhere, the stress might be. I await correction. |

Thanks, Adrian. I think you're probably right.
Having said that, I hope you won't be offended if I wait for steveandthedogs to 'adjudicate'. |

Welsh is pretty simple phonetically, as far as I am aware it's Roz-nigh-ger, though not sure where, if anywhere, the stress might be. I await correction. Pretty good, but the Z is S, the O is long, the Rh is rolled and has the H in it and the Ger is Grr. The stress is always on the penultimate syllable.
Hope that makes sense.
