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?
