    [​IMG] Only if your Welsh I guess...But it's an old term and doesn't get much use anymore. I wouldn't worry about it!

    After looking at your responces. I'd say that there is nothing wrong with your name ... I've never heard the word welcher be used before ... Now if you are Welsh and you live in the UK ... thats a different matter ... *cough*sheep*cough*

    note: I'm welsh born
