How do you pronounce the following Welsh boys names?

I just wondered how you pronounced the following Welsh boys names?





Iddon


Meilir





I hope someone can help out





Thanks|||i would say along the lines of





ee-thon (soft th, as in this, they...)





and





may-leer or male-eer|||Iddon - dd in welsh makes a soft th souns, like in the, so I-thon


Meilir - ei sounds like the french 'Eui' sort of, about half way between 'Eye' and 'Ay (like hay)' 'R' is always 'trilled' so May/My-Li-R|||I tried googling, but got no luck. I'd say they're pronounced Id-on and Mee-lerr. Sorry if this is no help, just saw you've had no replies so I tried :P
