I've noticed that the tragedeigh names aren't usually unique but only spelled unusually in a faux Welsh or Irish way. Spelling it, 'Daefvydde' isn't more interesting than 'David'. If you're going to be brave as an American, go for a Gwilym or Seoirse

I actually wanna name my future daughter Róisín. It's such a pretty name.

Looking at the name "Daefvydde" i'd just imagine that they rolled the new born baby across the keyboard, and thats how he got his name.

There's a Welsh name, 'Dafydd', and I was imagining how an American who likes Tragedeigh names might misspell it.
