Yay!It's been one of my favorite names since I was like 13. I prefer it spelled Llewellyn, but whatever. I think it could be usable, although there would be some trouble with it. That's why we'd only use it as a middle name. I've met one guy named Llewellyn, and he went by Lynn. I never asked him if he had issues before though.Oh, and I of course pronounce it in English and not Welsh. Expecting people to pronounce it in Welsh would be way too much.

Im not a fan of the name. But if you use it i like it spelled Llywellyn. It gives it a more feminine spelling. Also, the name is very...unique. So it all depends on what you like.

On a boy right?
I love it!
I like all the spellings, especially Llywelyn, though I'd probably be more likely to use Llewelyn, it looks a bit more normal...Luella is great for girl though.

Yes on a boy. I see what you mean about Llewelyn looking a bit more normal.Luella is nice too but I think for a girl I prefer Llewella.
