Nary a word from Tanya for 6 months, suddenly here she is in the office with a child called Aneurin, quite a cute kid.

Why do people do that to their children?

I think you're allowed to, when you're Welsh.

S'no excuse. What about when the kid has to meet people other than it's parents.

Hey, she called the first one Caleb.
This one will end up as Nye, anyway.

Caleb is an excellent name.
Aneurin will end up being teased.

Yeah but there's no point giving them extra ammo.

It'll be OK so long as they teach him how to spell "its". <gdr>

What, like the kids called Easter, Brooklyn, Pagan and Cannabis? At least Aneurin's a proper name!

That's as may be, but so are "Enoch", "George W.", and "Anthony Charles Lynton". And none of those could possibly look as though they rhyme with "urine" (okay, I know it doesn't in Welsh, but I can do pedantry too!).
Anyway, apart from the late and sometimes great Mr. Bevan, how many other people called Aneurin have you even heard of, let alone met? With a moniker like that, the poor kid's life is going to be hell even if he were to be educated in a Welsh-language school in a non-conformist chapel somewhere the other side of Llareggub Hill.
BTW, isn't "aneurine" another name for vitamin B1?

I've met a couple of Aneurins, acksherly. And seen exam papers with that name from 7 and 10 year olds. It's still going, in Wales.

Were you in Hebden Bridge last week, by any chance?

We popped down on Sunday (20th) to pick up some recycled-materials compostable disposable nappies, and also had a look in a coupld of other shops.

Yes, but I got the names from a cutting my Mum sent me, from Watford.

Actually, the registrar refused to register Cannabis under that name!
