[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Interesting that parents named Matthew and Ruth, and John and Amanda, should have made such firmly Welsh choices for their children. Is there a resurgence, or are they a double coincidence?

There's been a cultural and linguistic resurgence going on since the 80s, and in the last 10 years it's definitely become cooler to be Welsh than it used to be. It's pretty common for people who are having kids now to give them Welsh names and send them to Welsh-medium primary schools; even those of us who didn't grow up with either of those things. I probably would myself, if I was having children and living back home.
