••• Taffia and Goggia •••
Eh? Well most of you will know the nickname for a Welsh person to be Taff/Taffy/Taffie (after the River Taff that runs through most of South Wales) but those from North Wales are known as North Walian, or colloquially as 'gog' (from the Welsh gogledd, meaning "north").
As far as I know, the word gogia doesn't exist but Taffia does (not sure about this definition though). Anyway, here are the Welsh bloggers I enjoy reading, gog or taff.
