I think Gwendolen (spelled like that) is more authentic than the -yn and -ine versions, both of which were influenced by other names' spellings. The name, however spelled, is very beautiful and romantic-sounding.
The thing about the Welsh c is that it's hard, but Ceridwen will inevitably encounter the s assumption throughout life, and always be correcting people. That's something to consider. Ceri makes a cute nn.
Anwen is a "can take it or leave it" name for me - I love Angharad, Arianwen, Bronwen, Delyth (with its nn Del), Eleri, Ffion, and Rhiannon.
