Help[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
I love Rhian and Rhys. Do you mind giving the pronunciations for Awen, Mererid, Rhodri, Gwion, Myfyr, Llyr, Gwenfron, Ynyr, Elliw, Gwenllian, and Einion?

Awen = OW en (OW to rhyme with cow)
Mererid = meh REH reed, in Wales we roll the 'r's
Rhodri = HROD ree, again with the r-rolling
Gwion = GOOEE on
Myfyr = MUH veer
Gwenfron = GWEN vron
Ynyr = UN eer
Einion = AYN yon
Llyr = lleer
Elliw = eh llee oo
Gwenllian = gwen llee an
(there's no real English approximation of these, as the ll sound doesn't exist in English.)
You can hear a Welshman saying Gwenllian here:
