I dunno. It still looks like there are too many vowels in Oneilllll to be Welsh... Perhaps Wchnylllll, or similar?

Possibly -- except that 'y' is never a long E sound. It would have to be 'i', which is never pronounced "I".

I freely admit to little to no knowledge of Welsh orthography or pronunciation, so I bow to your greater experience!

or maybe Jack the Snark

Heehee!

There are at least six different ways of spelling the long 'i' diphthong. Some of them use the letter i, in combination. I suspect that, to an expert ear, they're all pronounced subtley differently. I am not an expert, just an enthusiast.

As with most languages other than contemporary English, the letter 'i' is a long E, and the letter 'e' is usually a longish A.

The letter 'y' is usually pronounced as a schwa. o_O
