    I wonder why Welsh names (especially place names) aren't popular? They would certainly be unpronounceable, and thus very unique!

    Not even the Welsh themselves like Welsh names! Haha. No doubt someone from Hong Kong will eventually choose Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, which happens to be the longest place name in Europe.
