Darrenlas or Darran-las? edit
The Welsh language commissioner's website lists this settlement as Darran-las in both it's English and Welsh forms. I'm pretty sure that the hyphen is regularly dropped, but I believe that the second vowel is always 'a' not 'e' (Darran being a fairly common topographical feature in the south Wales valleys). As such, I think that the name of this article and it's body of text are in error.
Does anyone have any information to support the "Darren" spelling? If there is no suitable counter argument, maybe we should move this article to be in line with the commissioner's spelling.
Here is a link to the commissioner's site: Standardised Welsh Place names (welshlanguagecommissioner.wales)

- Have moved article, the Ordnance Survey agrees that the English spelling is Darranlas, and talk page has had no reply.
