Ok, I should have said "There is a clear break in upper-class Anglo-Saxon naming practices, at around 650AD."
I thought Tewdrig was derived from Theoderic (Morris seemed to think so) - Rhodri is derived from Roderic so it wouldn't be the only Welsh princely name with a Germanic origin.
The element rix (Celtic) - ric (Germanic) for ruler are so close that it is impossible to separate their use in names.
