[Opinions] Re: Gwenllian
in reply to a message by Helena
I say this name as GWEN-lee-an. Am I pronouncing it right?
If GWEN-lee-an's right, then I really like the name. I like the sound, the meaning, and the history (though some of it's rather tragic: http://snipurl.com/butb). It's also something different from Gwendolen, even though Gwendolen itself isn't all that common imo.
The only downside is the potential pronunciation problems, as I alluded to above.

I agree that GWEN-lee-an sounds nicer, but the right pronunciation is gwen-LEE-an :-)
