So its easier for me to say im from Cardiff or Merthyr which are places most people have heard of and not that far from where i lived when i was younger but have lived in all 3 places.

How much more difficult is it to say "I'm from a village called Pontlottyn which is near Cardiff" than it is is to say "I'm from Cardiff"? I know Welsh is a difficult language to speak but there must be less than a seconds difference to say the first sentence rather than the not quite true second one. And if anyone knows Cardiff then their next question might well be "Where abouts in Cardiff" at which point you've then got to backtrack and explain you're not really from Cardiff, but actually from a village just outside Cardiff called Pontlottyn. That's got to take longer than just being truthful to start with.
