Can anyone who knows the Welsh language suggest a nice, not too hard to say (for non-welsh) name for our soon to be born Welsh pony filly? preferably with the meaning... or maybe a website?

This brings back wonderful memories of helping my friend name her Arabian filly, Chalon (pronounced Shalon). I included the website of Welsh names for you to look at. Below are my favorites.
Enfys – (EN-vees) Welsh word for "rainbow", and currently popular.
Epona – known to all Celts as the Divine Horse and Great Mare, she was a goddess associated with horses, their breeding, adn all warriors who used horses.
Nia – (NEE-ah) Welsh form of Irish name Niamh, from Old Irish niam "luster, sheen, brilliance".
My real name is Chrysanthemum, but I don’t know if it’s Welsch.

Bronwyn is Welsh and I like Rhianna, that is also Welsh. My husband is from South Wales from the Valley’s. I recommend this website. I hope that will help. Wishing the best = )
Dwynwen (pronounced as "dooin’ when") is a lovely Welsh name.
And on Anglesey there is a spot on Llanddwyn (see the second part "ddwyn" derived from Dwynwen) island where St Dwynwen is said to be buried.
She is the patron saint of lovers for Welsh people – like St Valentines. There are ruins of a small church on Llanddwyn and also an old lighthouse which was used by Demi Moore in her latest film Half Light which recently received its UK premiere.
Angharad – means "love"
Anwyn – means "very fair"
Ceridwen – means "fair poetess"
There are only two welsh names:
Men and boys are all called Dafydd Davies.
Women and girls are all called Myfanwy Davies.
Seren means star – Seren fach, little star. Blodwen means flower.
