[Opinions] Re: Gwendolyn, Ceridwen, and Anwen
in reply to a message by Celticroots
Welsh names are very beautiful, I think. They have unique sounds to them, and their meanings are interesting. I love the name Gwendolyn. Names that begin with "Gwen" or "Gwyn" are a bit common, but they're lovely nonetheless.
Ceridwen is lovely, too. I would name my child a goddess of poetry! It also sounds somewhat similar (I think) to "cariad", which is Welsh for "love".
Anwen is really cute. I don't think there would be much pronunciation trouble, though. Welsh vowels are fairly simple, and are quite close to English. The only weird part is that some consonant letters count for vowels, such as "w", which is the equivalent of the English "oo", or "u" being pronounced like "i".
