(on my last post I forgot the 'ap' part on some of the names. In Wales, 'ap' means 'son of', and it is part of the surname. Sometimes you get a modern 'son of' - a boy whose father is genuinely called 'Gwynne' and he becomes '[name] ap Gwynne'. More often than not it's an 'ap [name]' that has been passed down a few generations. I think the female version is 'haf', but I can't be sure as I've only met one.)

Not the OP but I do know that with a Welsh accent:
-Aeronwen would be more like "eye-ron-wen"... usually with emphasis on the middle syllable. -wen or -gwen is a suffix that means white/blessed, Aeron can be a stand-alone name.
-Lowri-Mair would be "LOH-ree-mire"
-Iolo would be "yo-lo" I'm guessing because Ianto is "yahn-to".

No clue on Llaefor, though.

(Ll)-eye-vo(rolled r). The best way to describe the Double-L sound is to put your tongue behinbd your teeth and and blow air around it gently.
