    it's a fairly common name in Wales

    [–]MrPleasant150 302 points303 points  (2 children)

    As a welshman I love that it's become a popular name for trans women and enbies. Had a Dutch exchange student living with me that had the name.

    [–]SquidTheRidiculousDa Alfabet Maphia sends they/thems regards 59 points60 points  (0 children)

    My new name comes from Greek, and is an homage to a character in a book I was obsessed with as a child. I once had a Greek dude get really pissed at me for choosing the name despite not being ethnically Greek.

    He was so mad he complained to my also-Not-Greek friend Alexander.

      Wales is a beautiful country and someplace I’m very glad I’ve had the chance to visit.

      Folks in some of the smaller villages are so isolated, but traveling as an openly queer, trans woman, I felt both safe and welcomed. If anything, folks really just wanted to know more about me and where I came from since they don’t usually get a ton of visitors. Huge shoutout to the wonderful people of Deri, would absolutely visit y’all again.

          Lloyd (or llwyd) is entirely dependent on if you use an anglicised version of the name. Either Loid or Chloid

          [–]derpfaceddargonthey call me the sandwich 29 points30 points  (8 children)

          Chloid?!

          [–]Biscuit642 18 points19 points  (6 children)

          Ch as in the back of the throat breathy kinda sound. Like you're trying to say k but doing it in your throat. Ll is that sound. It's called a voiceless al-something or other fricative I don't remember.

          [–]gulfrend🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights 31 points32 points  (0 children)

          In Welsh, Ch is a letter and is the throaty, almost "throat clearing"-type breathy sound. "Ll" is an entirely different letter. To pronounce it as in "Llwyd", start pronouncing an "L" letter with your mouth. When your tongue is behind your teeth, keep your teeth close together and lips open, and push air around the sides of your tongue and out the side of your lips. Almost like a cats hiss. The name "Llwyd" is pronounced similar to "Ll-oid"

          Source: I'm Welsh

          [–]Aegis_13Bitch Bastard 17 points18 points  (4 children)

          Voiceless alveolar lateral fricatives shouldn't make any sound in the throat. The noise should be all in the air passing through your mouth

          [–]PVetliPsychometabolist; Head Technomancer of North Central Positronics 21 points22 points  (2 children)

          Alveolar lateral fricatives

          I like your funny words, magic man

          [–]maclainanderson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

          Alveolar - tongue touches the "alveolar ridge", the really bumpy bit behind the teeth

          Lateral - air passes through the sides of the mouth, around the tongue

          Fricative - air passes through a narrow opening, causing friction that makes the noise (th and f are also fricatives)

          Hope that helps

          [–]Aegis_13Bitch Bastard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              Never heard it described, or pronounced like that. Only ever heard Ll in Welsh make a sorta 'breathy' L sound made by putting the tip of the tongue up against that ridge on the top of your mouth, almost or barely touching the base of your top front two teath, and breathing out (Idk how exactly to describe the sound). Then again I've only known one Welshman it could've been his accent/dialect

              fee-on. It’s a Welsh name as I understand; “Ff” in Welsh is pronounced as ‘f’. A single ‘f’ in Welsh is pronounced identically to the English ‘v’ as in “vehicle”

                When my sibling came out as bi, my first reaction was mild confusion and then "and?". I assumed that they'd officially told me years ago and I had forgotten, because it was bloody obvious to everyone.

                    Giving yourself a name is hard.
                    It's gotta hold some meaning for you, it's gotta sound nice, it's gotta fit you, it's got to be cool, it can't be too cringe, it can't be too boring, you can't just take it from someone else because then it's already got baggage...

                      Some people rush it, I spent 7 years deciding on a name, and then procrastinated another 6 before getting round to transitioning, and only used the name before that in cases where people asked "what's your name, Ma'am?" and responding with my male name would have been awkward.

                        I am so mentally prepared for if I have kids to say that or „hi gay I’m dad” or „hi bi I’m dad”

                        My dad would’ve just hit back with “OK” or “👍”

                        [–]ShredGuru 35 points36 points  (1 child)

                        Dad has also known you were trans for 7 years.

                        More like 8.

                        I love memes about dads being sorta dumbass airheads or super chill cuz it lets me vicariously experience what having a non-abusive father would be like. It’s also funny.

                        [–]B0B_Spldbckwrds🐻 29 points30 points  (0 children)

                        It's always fun to see what it was like in households where Dad came back with the milk.

                        I am very sorry you went through that. The “👍🏻” is 100% a real phenomenon from dads and is the funniest shit ever when you inevitably encounter it, though.

                        [–]QueenOfDaisies196’s strongest angelfucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                        It is so funny. I hear from my friends a lot about their dads being super aloof and it’s always the funniest shit.

                        this is the best possible response to coming out btw

                        Sure, when and where?

                        [–]Nowhereman123 41 points42 points  (0 children)

                        Yeah, no, I'm sure she'd have preferred some kind of actual acknowledgement. This sounds to me like he's trying to ignore it.

                        [–]SeatInternal9325 24 points25 points  (2 children)

                        its a terrible response

                        [–]UnicornHostels 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                        What’s a good response?

                        [–]SeatInternal9325 18 points19 points  (0 children)

                        Anything that reaffirms your love and support to the person who came out. Not ignoring the subject all together

                        [–]chatte__lunatique🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights 23 points24 points  (0 children)

                        No, best response would be showing explicit support and love for his daughter in an extremely important and vulnerable moment for her, instead of completely brushing it off. Could it be worse? Yeah, by a lot — take it from someone who had worse. But it sure as hell could be better, too.

                        [–]thyme_cardamom 10 points11 points  (5 children)

                        Only if you grew up with abusive parents and don't know what actual support looks like

                        [–]emilryeh 4 points5 points  (4 children)

                        Saying the parents are abusive based on this little interraction not knowing their dynamic is actually insane

                        [–]imacowmooooooooooooomooooo... moooooooooo 11 points12 points  (1 child)

                        no theyre saying that this only looks like the best if they (the person theyre replying to) has abusive parents

                        [–]thyme_cardamom 2 points3 points  (1 child)

                        If you see a mediocre thing and say "this is the best thing I've ever seen" that pretty much means you've only experienced poor quality versions of that thing

                        [–]ScoobertD🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights 48 points49 points  (1 child)

                        pretty sure she said he was not supportive after this was originally posted, but it’s been a while now

                        [–]Fem-n-M 21 points22 points  (0 children)

                        Yeah, a parent straight up ignoring your heartfelt message doesn't read very supportive. But I suppose not getting an answer is still in some ways better than being met with hatred and resentment.

                        Shout out to all my trans homies, I love y’all.

                        Incredibly intrigued on how you guys choose your names though

                        [–]furexfurex 6 points7 points  (3 children)

                        It's Welsh, very common name

                        What the fuck does grape juice have to do with the naming process

                        Why is there a barely visible wall of text over the image, and another barely visible image over that.

                        Why is this a screenshot of a video of a screenshot

                        [–]imacowmooooooooooooomooooo... moooooooooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                        wait wtf youre right

                        Oh boy here we go again. Time to see all of the comments making fun of her name because it's not English

                        [–]Nowhereman123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

                        Americans when they encounter a name that isn't one of their pre-approved English language names.
