Neat!1. I love it, and the meaning is awesome.
2. nn Ana? -It's alright.
3. Anwen Morgana or Anwen Calandra
4. I'd use it.I have to say, I was thinking of the name Calandra the other day, it was in a baby name book years ago that I read and I loved it (I'm talking more than 10 years ago). But it doesn't show up as a name here so I thought it was made-up or something?! It's neat to see someone else use it!

I taught an Anwen once who said she found it so inconvenient and such a gift to teasers and mockers that she went by Anne. What a pity!I don't like the rhyminess of your combos: only Birgitte doesn't either end in -n or contain it in a stressed syllable; and it's a bit of a stretch culturally. I'd prefer something like Anwen Clare, Anwen Louella, Anwen Mary ...

I like Anwen, although not enough to use it.I dislike Ana as a nickname for it.I like Anwen Selene best.

Anwen nickname Ana is contrived. Ana is a name in its own right and you don't need fanciful Anwen to achieve it. If you like Anwen, go for it, it's unusual and pretty but I would not use it to get Ana.I like Anwen Morgana, Rhian, Selene.
Sorry if I repeat any:Anwen Miranda
Anwen Veronica
Anwen Lily
Anwen Rosalind
Anwen Fiona
Anwen Fay
Anwen Imelda
Anwen Soraya
Anwen Matilda
Anwen Julia
Anwen Isabel
Anwen Rowena
Anwen Olivia

1. Love it!
2. No nn. It doesn't need one. Ana is a separate name to me.
3. Anwen RhiannonI would use it, being that my MIL's middle name is Ann and my mother's mn is Angela. I would only use it as a middle name.
