Welsh surnames

Indeed, currently it is not uncommon that five or more of the starting fifteen for the Welsh international rugby team would be named Jones (all of the following played in that period and are not immediately related to any of the others: Adam Rhys Jones, Dafydd Jones, Ryan Jones, Stephen Jones, Mark Jones, Adam M. Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Duncan Jones).

Alternatively, given surnames are used, as in the case of the folk singer and political figure Dafydd Iwan, opera singer Bryn Terfel, classical singer Shân Cothi, and the late actress Myfanwy Talog.
