|comment=Actually, Gwenlais and Gwenfer aren't Welsh names (anyway they don't appear on any "Welsh names" website I could find). "Gwenlais" could be a place name (I know of a "Carregwenlais") and Gwenfer (with a circumflex over the first "e") would seem to mean "Brief smile". I did wonder what he meant by these names?

PS "Penhaearn" seems to be actually the name of a fish! although it would mean literally "ironhead", so perhaps he thought it descriptive of this particular character; but it would seem rather cruel of any Welsh-speaking family to name their son after a fish!
