That's possible.

I was looking at common Welsh surnames the other day, wondering which one might be Merlin's... at least, if he lived in the modern world... :-P

Also about his name, I think the name Merlin comes from a type of falcon that is called a merlin. Not coming from the UK, I probably know less about it than anyone else... :-S
