Closed petition To stop using the name 'Anglesey' and exclusively use the name 'Ynys Môn' or shorten to 'Môn'.

Some other counties in Wales don't have a Welsh and English name. Môn is easy to pronounce for all people in all languages.
Two names for a county is confusing for tourists, but using one name will help keep the Welsh heritage alive on the island.
