Answer 1

Thought so, mochyn.

Would an ignorant Englishman pronounce it (roughly) 'mokh'n'?

When I was little my mum (who grew up in Wales) used to call me that on suitable occasions, usually followed by a word which sounded to my untrained ear like 'biddi', and which I took to mean 'dirty' or some other piggish attribute.
