Ceredigion/Cardiganshire
With regards to the reorganisation of local government on April 1, 1996, Cardiganshire was not restored for administrative purposes, but the area known to the English as Cardiganshire became Ceredigion. I have read the arguments about whether Cardiganshire exists or not on the Ceredigion entry of this site, as a life long local resident I can assure you that for all intents and purposes Cardiganshire does NOT exist, the only people who use the name are English people from outside the area. It is also worth noting that Ceredigion is not just the Welsh translation of Cardiganshire, that would be Sir Aberteifi. --Welshg60 11:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Read the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994. Cardiganshire was restored for administrative purposes, but the council renamed it Ceredigion on April 2 1996. The idea that the only people who use the name Cardiganshire are English people is laughable, demonstrably wrong and quite insulting. Owain (talk) 11:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Surely to would be inappropriate to call it Ceredigion when speaking in English, just as it would to say Cardiganshire when speaking Welsh? Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ceredigion is the name of the County - in both Welsh and English. In my everyday work I deal with enquiries from residents and businesses across south and west Wales and I can assure you that few, even amongst the very many English people, who have settled within the County, give their address as being Cardiganshire. Some Welsh speakers, particularly the older generation, do refer to the county as Sir Aberteifi, but this is hardly ever used by youngsters any more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.66.232 (talk • contribs)

Use in postal addresses
There's more to the use of the name Dyfed than local government. Industry address databases seem to return addresses with Dyfed as the county, in 2016. The Wikipedia List of postcode districts in the United Kingdom uses Dyfed as the county name for a number of postcode regions, and does not use Ceredigion etc.

I think a section is required for this, but I don't know the proper names of the bodies who own these specifications.
