I'm fond of Gwenno and have been for quite a while now. Sometimes I really wish I could use it.
I think Ifanwy is also really appealing. And I love Gwenllian.

Not sure how I feel about Osian. It has a great sound, imo, but it reminds me too much of James Macpherson's Ossian poems/"translations", which were later proven to be forgeries.

Arwyn - AR-wyn - from Old Welsh, based on gwyn meaning fair, handsome.
Tecwyn - TEC-wyn - meaning unknown
Einir - AY-neer - meaning unknown
Meilir - MAY-leer - more usually spelt Meilyr, apparently taken from Brythonic words meaning 'great king'.
Meilyr is probably the most common out of those, but they're all fairly ordinary names. Ifanwy, however, is really unusual. It's probably a feminisation of Ifan based on Myfanwy, and it looks like there have only ever been two of them.
